Graham

The state chapter of the NAACP and other groups filed a lawsuit last year to have the monument in Graham removed. They plan to appeal.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in November 2020 and named as defendants the city of Graham and Police Chief Kristi Cole, 15 police officers, Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson and 15 deputies.

Douglas Strader was terminated from the Greensboro police department in 2020 after he fired his gun at a fleeing vehicle.

The lawsuit alleges that the monument glorifies slavery, secession and white supremacy, and that county officials have refused to move it from in front of the Alamance County Courthouse in Graham.
