Re: Removal of Albert Pike’s Monument
Dear Mr. President:
This is an official request upon your office to take appropriate legal and political action to remove the statue of Confederate Brigadier General Albert Pike and the use of funds to permanently care for, protect and preserve the only Ku Klux Klan Confederate general with a statute on federal property in Washington, DC.
This statue of hate, terror, slavery, murder and segregation stands on a pedestal near the foot of Capitol Hill, between the Department of Labor building and the Municipal Building, between 3rd and 4th Streets, on D Street, NW. Washington, D.C.’s Judiciary Square.
Mr. Roy L. Perry-Bey
