The National Park Service has announced plans to restore and reinstall the statue of Confederate General Albert Pike, which was toppled during protests in 2020. The decision, supported by the Trump administration, comes five years after the statue was parts of a larger movement against Confederate monuments across the nation. The reinstallation of this controversial figure, who has been accused of KKK affiliations, is likely to reignite debates surrounding such memorials in public spaces. This action continues the discourse on race, history, and the legacy of Confederate symbols in America.
