Here is an example of one such "monument".  The photo comes from the University of North Florida Historic Architecture Main Gallery.  Explain to me why it's so "offensive" that it needs to be taken down.  Explain how it's not removing history.

Markers where historical events took place are good and important, like the stumbling stones in Germany today.  This particular marker could maybe use more context about if this group did anything together, after the war, beyond socializing. It might be missing information about how black men in this area had the right to vote in 1868, but had lost it long before 1914.
