Committee unveils three possible changes to Confederate statue in West Michigan Updated Feb 22, 2021; 16 Protesters gather in Allendale park to call for the removal of Civil War monument depicting Confederate soldier Facebook Share ALLENDALE, MI -- A local committee tasked with recommending changes to a controversial Civil War statue in Allendale Township has come up with three possible solutions. None of the potential changes to the statue presented by the seven-member Garden of Honor Memorial Committee on Monday, Feb. 22, to the Allendale Township Board of Trustees are final, however. The committee were given five more meetings to study the three possible solutions and come back to the township board with a final recommendation, which the board can ultimately shoot down or approve.
