Los comisionados del condado de Buncombe votan para remover el monumento Vance

12/8/2020

Por Marla Milling, Hola Carolina

Un grupo de trabajo recomendó recientemente que se retirara el Monumento Vance, un obelisco de piedra de 65 pies en el centro de Asheville.

El lunes 7 de diciembre, los comisionados del condado de Buncombe acordaron por votación unánime que se retirara el monumento. Lleva el nombre del oficial de la Guerra Civil, el gobernador de Carolina del Norte y el senador de Estados Unidos Zebulon Vance. La controversia sobre el monumento está relacionada con la propiedad de esclavos de Vance.

El Ayuntamiento de Asheville se ocupará ahora del asunto. El monumento está en propiedad de la ciudad y el consejo.

Los miembros quieren explorar el costo de la mudanza, así como la logística, antes de realizar una votación final.
