Confederate statue torn down during 2020 protests is back up in D.C. The National Park Service announced in August its plan to return the refurbished statue of Confederate Gen. Albert Pike to a small federal park at Third and D streets NW.

I don't approve of the means by which it was taken down, but I can't support using taxpayer money to put statues to people who directly and deliberately ordered the shooting and killing of US military personnel. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
