confederate monument

A committee of the Caddo Commission recommends allocating up to $500,000 to move the Confederate Monument from in front of the Caddo Parish Courthouse.

The Parish indicated that they will be willing to work with the UDC on removal procedures, including "reasonable access to Courthouse Square".

Caddo Parish Commission President Stormy Gage-Watts says the legal battle over the Confederate Monument in front of the Caddo Courthouse is nearly over, but she says there are still a couple of legal challenges to wrap up.

The legal community in Caddo Parish will likely take notice of the legal fight going on in South Louisiana. A man in East Feliciana Parish says he can not get a fair trial at a courthouse where a Confederate monument is displayed.

We don't know when the vandals struck, but believe it was at least a week ago.

A federal judge has denied the motion made by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to stop the removal of the monument while the legal battle moves through the court system.

A motion filed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to stop the removal of the Confederate monument outside of the Caddo Parish Courthouse has been denied.

According to the Parish website, ownership of the land is not in question and, it's not the Caddo Commission, but the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

The United Daughters of the Confederacy has filed a lawsuit to keep the Caddo Commission from removing the Confederate Monument from the grounds of the Caddo Courthouse.
