Confederate monument damaged but still stands in Tuskegee
A Tuskegee city council member tried to remove a Confederate statue with a chainsaw on Wednesday.
The 115-year-old monument sits in a park within the district of former mayor Johnny Ford who said he acted because his constituents voted last week in a public meeting to remove the memorial. This is the latest development surrounding the removal of the monument from the nearly all-Black town after it was erected in 1906.
Sheriff Andre Brunson said charges are possible but that no arrests have been made.
