Confederate Army General, Albert Pike, Statue Reinstalled on D Street
Confederate Army General, Albert Pike, Statue Reinstalled on D Street
The statue is commemorating Pike for other reasons and has nothing whatsover to do with his brief (and mediocre) service as a Brigadier General in the Confederate Army. However, the WOKE Witch-Hunt had little care for that or any other TRUTH - DD
From the National Park Service:
“The National Park Service announced today that it will restore and reinstall the bronze statue of Albert Pike, which was toppled and vandalized during riots in June 2020. The restoration aligns with federal responsibilities under historic preservation law as well as recent executive orders to beautify the nation’s capital and re-instate pre-existing statues.
Originally authorized by Congress in 1898 and dedicated in 1901, the statue honors Pike’s leadership in Freemasonry, including his 32 years as Sovereign Grand Commander of the Ancient Rite of Scottish Freemasonry. The statue has been in secure storage since its removal and is currently undergoing restoration by the National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Training Center.
This action supports both the Executive Order on Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful and the Executive Order on Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History, which direct federal agencies to protect public monuments and present a full and accurate picture of the American past.
Site preparation to repair the statue’s damaged masonry plinth will begin shortly, with crews repairing broken stone…
Don't you think it odd that the only Confederate statue that Trump insisted on restoring is one of a masonic luciferarian? Let's not glory in that.
