A Michigan group that has targeted God in the public square is now seeking to tear down a monument depicting a freed black child that honors the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Michigan Association of Civil Rights Activists, headed by Mitch Kahle, is demanding the removal of a Civil War-related statue in Allendale Community Park in Allendale Township, a rural community west of Grand Rapids.
The concrete statue, part of a collection honoring veterans from several U.S. wars and conflicts, features a Union Soldier, a Confederate soldier, and a small child crouched between them, holding a sign that reads, “Freedom to Slaves!”
The Confederate soldier appears on the left, and stands back-to-back with his Union foe.
The so-called “civil rights” group finds the monument offensive “and is calling for township leaders to remove it,” Fox 17 reported.
“We have an American soldier for the union, we have a confederate soldier who was the enemy of America, they were traitors, and now we have this depiction of a slave child,” Kahle said.
