New statue of Admiral Raphael Semmes in Mobile, Alabama

A new statue of Admiral Raphael Semmes has been created by the SCV camp that bears his name (Admiral Raphael Semmes Camp #11). The statue will be erected at the privately-owned memorial park of Fort McDermott in Spanish Fort, Alabama. 

The SCV camp is accepting donations to install and maintain the statue, and checks can be mailed to:

Fort McDermott Foundation

Mobile, AL 36695
 
Alternatively, you can donate via Zeffy at this link.
 
You can check out photos of the statue at this post from the SCV camp, and this post from Monuments Across Dixie.

Isle of Wight, Virginia, Confederate Monument

A few days ago, Dixie Forever made a great post about the Confederate monument in Isle of Wight, Virginia.

The bad thing is that back in 2021, this monument was removed as part of the statue genocide by bigots and bullies who hate anyone who is different from the norm. But the good news is that the monument was relocated to private land owned by a gentleman named Volpe Boykin, who provides it with a loving home.

“Boykin, a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, created a private park on his farm field for public viewing, with the monument respectfully preserved and maintained. An easement, a preservation group, and all necessary conditions were established to ensure its permanence indefinitely for generations to come. Thank you, Sir, and everyone who respectfully helps to preserve it.”
