Lawmakers on the State Capitol and Executive Residence Board on Monday approved a plan that would restore two statues toppled and dragged away during a June 23 demonstration.
Protesters said the statues, which were mounted as tributes to women's suffrage and the abolition of slavery, promoted a false sense of equality in a state where people of color have been for decades more likely than white residents to be poor, incarcerated, disciplined in school, and have negative birth outcomes.
