Joseph Brown | The ItemA Confederate statue on the grounds of the Walker County Courthouse has become a topic of debate, with some in the community calling for its removal.Â
The Walker County Commissioners Court is finally slated to take a vote on whether to remove the Confederate monument that has stood outside the county courthouse since 1956.
In an agenda released for the courtâs Monday meeting, commissioners say they will âdiscuss and take action on Confederate Patriots monument,â giving an answer to individuals who have voiced opinions to the court at nearly every meeting since June.
Walker County has one of the newest Confederate monuments in the state, with it being erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy 64 years ago.
