Dear Mr. Voyles,
Congratulations on your recent appointment as Vice Chairman and Acting Chairman of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP). We are pleased that you have accepted President Trump’s invitation to promote America’s interest in protecting our nation’s historic and cultural resources.

It was not necessary to demolish Southern Confederate heritage. A truly "Inclusive" society would have just Added monuments and statues for Black heritage North & South.
