To sum up our thoughts from this morning: https://t.co/wGcx94wBNd — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

Today’s action allows us to keep our goal toward removal of statues by next spring. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

Sure, I’m disappointed the first petition was denied, but I’m happy the second one was set for a hearing in November. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

This entire administrative law process should be finished by the end of November. https://t.co/NMbluOIGct — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

Speaking to media now. Our fight continues. The Commission granted us a hearing on our second petition in November. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

I believe in local control: Government closest to the people is best to make the decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

I ask the Commission to hear our petition TODAY. I ask a member of the Commission to make a motion to that effect today. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

Make no mistake: We have respected this process. Now, we ask you to respect the will of Memphis. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

Today, we call that sentiment what it is: White supremacy. And today, we know that is a shameful part of our past. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

Simply put, this is a monument to Jim Crow. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

Just a few months after this statue was erected, a Memphis man was lynched — one of 13 lynchings in Shelby County during that time frame. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

Passing out an article from the News-Scimitar around the time of the installation that has Forrest surrounded by white hooded men. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

We must come to terms with why this statue exists in the first place. It was placed 40 years after the war as Jim Crow laws started. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

This is about the people inside of Memphis coming together to decide what’s best for Memphis. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Strickland @MayorMemphis

Today, I speak on behalf of a Memphis that is as united as I’ve ever seen it. — PolitiTweet.org
