Confederate Statue North Carolina
FILE – Lance Spivey, the chairman of the board of the Heirs to the Confederacy, stands outside in 20-degree weather to show his support for the Confederate monument early Friday, Feb. 1, 2019, at the corner of Fourth and Liberty streets in downtown Winston-Salem, N.C. On Friday, Dec. 16, 2022, North Carolina’s Supreme Court ruled that the local chapter of United Daughters of the Confederacy lacks standing to challenge the city of Winston-Salem’s removal of the Confederate monument on private property, but it can refile a future lawsuit making similar arguments.
