Offer made to acquire Northampton Monument
(Shore Daily News)
The Eastville Town Council apparently wants to house on town property the Confederate soldier statue along with a proposed Union soldier statue, according to Betsy Mapp, a member of the Northampton County Board of Supervisors.
Mapp said during a meeting on Tuesday night that she had been in contact with Eastville officials interested in preserving the statue, which last year became a local flashpoint during a national racial reckoning.

The ladies of Pocomoke City Hall Go Red For Women to support the American Heart Association's national movement to end heart disease and stroke in women.
