PLANS ADVANCE to return Confederate "Reconciliation" memorial to Arlington National Cemetery
The memorial to the Confederacy is undergoing renovations before it's replaced placed at Arlington National Cemetery.
Plans are moving forward to bring a Confederate memorial back to Arlington National Cemetery three years after it was illegally removed.
A representative from the Office of Army Cemeteries presented final design plans for the statue to the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts during a meeting Thursday morning. (See link below for Power Point presentation)
The statue, unveiled in 1914, features a bronze woman, crowned with olive leaves, standing on a 32-foot pedestal, and was designed to represent the American New South.
It is undergoing renovations at a conservator in western Virginia and is expected to be placed back at Arlington in April of next year.
Confederate memorial being removed from Arlington National Cemetery in 2023
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced last year the statue would be returned to the cemetery as part of President Donald Trump's push to combat what the "erasing of American history." It looks like this is a promise being kept.
Hegseth said on social media the Arlington statue “never should have been taken down by woke lemmings. Unlike the Left, we don’t believe in erasing American history — we honor it.”
When the statue is re-installed, there are plans for new signage near it that will offer context about its history. The new signage is considered unnecessary by the Ezekiel Family and several heritage coalition groups who will be lobbying the Army to drop that part of the restoration plan.
