CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS

Ben Frazier, the leader of the Northside Coalition of Jacksonville, led a rally Tuesday evening and spoke in front of the city council for the first time since his removal in handcuffs from a December meeting.

TIAA Bank Field was the site of another protest statement Sunday before the Jaguars game. A confederate flag was flown over the stadium, with the words "put monuments back."

City council members are going to take up the divisive issue again on Tuesday -- but Wednesday two members met trying to come together on opposite sides.

Members of the Unity Project gathered Monday on the steps of City Hall.

It’s likely that the topic of Jacksonville’s remaining Confederate monuments will lead the discussion during public comment Tuesday evening at city council’s biweekly meeting.

The Southern Poverty Law Center on Tuesday released the third edition of its “Whose Heritage?” report, which tracks memorials honoring the American Confederacy and its leaders throughout the United States.

There are a number of pressing issues and hot-button topics facing Jacksonville, including the future of the city’s remaining Confederate monuments, suspension of curbside recycling pickup and traffic delays due to trains.

For weeks, the Northside Collation of Jacksonville has been pressing the city follow through with the removal of all remaining Confederate monuments, and on Tuesday, the organization held another rally outside City Hall.
