Georgetown residents want confederate monument to be moved | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: A tradition of holding rallies in Georgetown's Town Square to remove a Confederate Monument has evolved amid plans to build a new Williamson County Courthouse. The monument, erected in 1916 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, honors locals who fought against the U.S. in the Civil War. Activists argue it no longer belongs in its current location. While some suggest contextualizing the monument with a plaque if the old courthouse becomes a museum, rally organizers like Jason Norwood oppose this and advocate for relocating it to a cemetery with Confederate dead. Opposition and support exist, making the debate ongoing.
