and was a frequent visitor after I graduated, I never paid any attention to the statue. However, I tried to avoid going to the courthouse as much as possible. I expect that I would be a stronger advocate for removing the statue if I was attending college since there are more events at the Square around the courthouse and it would be more of an eyesore.

Since it looks unlikely that the statue will be removed, then the compromise solution of adding a new plaque commemorating Juneteenth is probably the best that can be expected.

I read the Williamson County Sun on a regular basis so I've stayed informed about the discussions and if I see anything else newsworthy, then I'll post it on DU. I'm also hoping that I'll be in Georgetown in about three weeks to attend my 30th class reunion at Southwestern so maybe I can give a first person account of the situation.
