Activists Denounce Plans to Reinstall Confederate Statue in DC 
SHARE

The National Park Service (NPS) has announced plans to restore and reinstall a bronze statue of Confederate general Albert Pike in Washington, DC. The statue was toppled and burned during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, but will now be repaired in compliance with executive orders issued by President Donald Trump.

The decision to restore the statue has sparked controversy and pushback from politicians and racial justice organizers. Activist Eugene Puryear called the agency’s decision “disgraceful,” highlighting the statue’s ties to white supremacy and racism. Puryear, along with local politicians and activists, had previously advocated for the statue’s removal in 2017.

Originally from Massachusetts, Albert Pike sided with the South during the Civil War and was accused of atrocities against Union troops. The statue, dedicated in 1901 by the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite, honors Pike’s role in the fraternal society.

The NPS is currently repairing the statue to address structural issues and graffiti, with plans to reinstall it by October. The decision to restore the monument has raised concerns about glorifying Confederate imagery and the promotion of racism.

Critics argue that restoring Confederate monuments serves to legitimize racism and white supremacy, perpetuating a harmful ideology. The debate over Confederate statues reflects deeper societal issues surrounding historical memory, racial justice, and the legacy of the Civil War.
