PITTSBORO, N.C. – Another monument to the Confederacy will be removed, this time in Pittsboro, N.C.

Chatham County Commissioners have voted to remove a Confederate monument located at the historic courthouse in Pittsboro. According to WNCN, Chatham County Commissioners voted 4-1 in favor of allowing the Winnie Davis Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy to come up with a plan to relocate the statue.

The group has until October 1 to come up with a plan. Commissioners said if the plan isn’t presented to them by the deadline, then the statue will be declared public trespass on November 1, 2019.
