McDONOUGH — The Col. Charles T. Zachry Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) Camp 108 of Henry County led a rally Thursday evening against removing the Confederate monument from the McDonough Square.
The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted 4-1 on July 7 to have the statue removed from the square within 60 days. Since then, the SCV has requested a restraining order and the Georgia Minutemen have requested an injunction in Henry County Superior Court, both seeking to stop the removal of the statue.
