Orlando Honors Confederates With Lake Eola Statue

Follow Us On Twitter: @UrbanNationNews

a memorial to soldiers who fought for the South in the Civil War, is drawing new scrutiny in the wake of the racially motivated massacre at a Charleston church that has sparked a nationwide movement against Confederate symbols.

That movement has reached Orlando, with an activist group calling on the city to relocate the statue to a museum where such an oppressive image of racist American culture would be appropriately housed for historical reference.

Korey Wheeler, who is spearheading the petition drive for Organize Now, said Wednesday that in the wake of the violence in South Carolina, the time is right to move the statue.

I feel like it's right for us to talk about the issue and bring it up, because it symbolizes ignorance, especially against blacks, Wheeler said.

The statue was erected downtown by a local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1911 and moved to Lake Eola Park in 1917, according to the Florida Public Archaeology Network.

The memorial is a tall, marble obelisk capped by a soldier. It rests between the lake's east shore and North Eola Drive.

Its inscription reads, in part: The monument shall stand through the years to come as our loving tribute to the Confederate soldier and as a memorial of his heroic courage, his unparalleled devotion and his unselfish patriotism.

These imbeciles think the south was fighting the CW to keep slaves, and that was never an issue. Seeing they hate everything to do with they confederacy, they should demand that all states that were in it to be forced to secede from the USA.

Heather Fagan, Mayor Buddy Dyer's deputy chief of staff, said several people had contacted City Hall, both for and against moving the statue. In a statement, she said the Mayor's Office is exploring options for the statue's future.

We pride ourselves in being a diverse and inclusive community and value the concern raised by a citizen regarding the statue that has been in Lake Eola for nearly 100 years, she said.

Commissioner Patty Sheehan, whose district includes Lake Eola, said the statute first came onto her radar in 2009, when Orlando hosted Super Bowl festivities at the park and some football players complained about it.

Sheehan said she explored moving it to Greenwood Cemetery but was dissuaded by the estimated expense.

Meanwhile, a Change.org petition has also surfaced calling for the memorial to remain at the park but had only drawn about 30 supporters Wednesday afternoon.

Lawanna Gelzer, president of the local chapter of the National Action Network, said Wednesday that the statue is an eyesore and a reminder of a dark past but said she's more concerned about protecting Orlando's black history.

Patricia Schnurr, a member and former president of the UDC chapter that erected the Confederate memorial, said Wednesday that the statue should stay, insisting its message has nothing to do with slavery or racism.

There's no correlation, and none of this makes sense to me. ... it was put up to honor the Confederate soldiers, she said.

Sheehan described her current feelings as conflicted. Like it or not, it is part of Orlando's history, she said, but the last thing I want to do is offend anyone who comes to the park.

Commissioner Regina Hill, one of two black members of the City Council, said she supports removing the memorial. The statue's intent was well-meaning, she said, but times have changed.

We're a progressive city, and we're all about inclusion, so I think, due to the climate that's associated with the Confederate flag and Confederate objects, they more so belong in a museum, she said.
