Grenada, Mississippi, has removed a Confederate monument that stood on the courthouse square since 1910, which had been wrapped in tarps for the past four years amid community division. The decision to relocate the statue was made by Grenada's first Black mayor, Charles Latham, following a city council vote in 2020 after the protests ignited by George Floyd's death. A new site for the monument has been prepared behind a fire station, about 3.5 miles from its original location; however, the move has sparked controversy, with a Republican lawmaker claiming it violates state laws regarding war memorials. While some community members, like artist Robin Whitfield, express relief at the relocation, others feel there should have been more community dialogue about the statue's significance. The city has faced delays in the removal due to budget and bureaucratic constraints, but the recent action marks a significant change in the local narrative surrounding the monument. The ongoing debate highlights the complexities of addressing historical symbols within communities.
