The statue’s 1903 dedication speech refers to Black Americans as a “mongrel race” & boasts that nowhere in the South is a Black person “accorded social equality.” The monument says “unveiled with appropriate ceremony.” #solidarity #takeitdown #projectsaysomethingal

PSS has been threatened with arrest several times by local police, who protect the monument - and the counter protesters. #solidarity #takeitdown #projectsaysomethingal #florencealabama #florenceal #visitflorenceal

This is my town. Please signal boost @indigo_girls today, and help us relocate this confederate monument! @solesides @TruthspeakerHQ @lyricsborn @blackalicious_ @djshadow
Please help racial justice nonprofit Project Say Something attract national press. The past 2 mo. (& counting) PSS has daily protests to relocate of a Confederate monument that sits outside the county courthouse to the city cemetery. #solidarity #takeitdown #projectsaysomethingal

Our Black community mobilized & used these protests to create a platform for the most sustained racial justice advocacy this area has ever seen, including performance art, “occupy downtown” rallies, teach-ins, sit-ins, and die-ins. #solidarity #takeitdown #projectsaysomethingal

We are located in Florence, AL. The city owns the statue, but the county owns the land, and they are playing a political game of hot potato before elections. Neither will advance to move the monument. #solidarity #takeitdown #projectsaysomethingal #florencealabama #florenceal

Please help us to attract national press so that we can tell our story and pressure our local government to do the right thing: denounce white supremacy and move the statue. #solidarity #takeitdown #projectsaysomethingal #florencealabama #florenceal #visitflorenceal

White supremacists mobilized to stage rallies with Confederate flags. They have threatened our protesters with violence and even death. Some have even called for a resurgence of the KKK and planned “knight rides.” #solidarity #takeitdown #projectsaysomethingal #florencealabama

Today we tweet Project Say Something (Florence AL) photos. PSS's daily protests demand relocation of a confederate monument from County Courthouse to city cemetery. White suprematists are staging rallies w/confederate flags & help from KKK. Please retweet & amplify the message.
