Vandals Spray Black Paint Over Faces In Confederate Monument

Portsmouth, Va. — Vandals damaged the city’s monument to Confederate soldiers by spraying black paint over the faces of statues representing four white rebel fighters.

The damage was discovered during the weekend at the memorial, which consists of a 56-foot-tall granite pillar surrounded by four metal figures representing the navy, cavalry, infantry and artillery branches of the Confederate military.

All are white.

“I think the Civil War is still sensitive to a segment of the South,” Nancy Perry, the city’s museum director, said Tuesday.

Police had made no arrests. A metal conservator could begin work to clean up the statues this weekend.

The monument, dedicated in 1893 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was scheduled for an $80,000 restoration this year.

5. ZEN BUDDHIST WORDS OF ADVICE FROM HENRY JACOBS’ NEW CD/DVD OUT NOW: “DON’T JUST DO SOMETHING–STAND THERE.”
