- JON C. LAKEY / SALISBURY POST Former Councilman Pete Kennedy (right) stops to speak to a group of citizens before council members headed off into closed session. Several people came to a regularly scheduled Salisbury City Council meeting in July 2015 to make an appeal to discuss the Confederate monument known as "Fame" that is in the median of West Innes Street.
Letter: ‘Fame’ debate will cause division
Published 12:00 am Thursday, May 30, 2019
Leave “Fame” alone. She doesn’t need to be moved to an obscure location.
I am 76 years old and have many black friends. Never in all my years have I or any of my black friends found “Fame” to be a problem or found it to be a source of contention.
The same is true of the Lyerly murders.
Only we, decedents of the families involved, knew of that piece of ancient history. What has changed to cause the contention?
The only thing that I see being accomplished is more division. Let us stop this madness.
