Kudos to Asheville, NC

It's an encouraging sign (pun intended) to see that the painful histories of some places are being faced head-on rather than being denied and covered-up.  In the last few years, the removal of the statues of Confederate leaders and the renaming of buildings has brought both joy and anger, depending on how an individual perceives those actions.  This historic marker from Asheville, NC is worthy of praise for its accurate recounting of the history of the era.  Hopefully, it sparks authentic conversations about the ugliness of racism.
