USA - The national debate about the fate of statues honoring Confederate politicians and military officers has reached a new level, with a black lawmakers' group saying such memorials should be banned from the US Capitol. It turns out there are plenty of them. 'We will never solve America's race problem if we continue to honor traitors who fought against the United States in order to keep African-Americans in chains,' Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond, a Louisiana Democrat, told ABC News. A march in Charlottesville, Virginia attended mostly by neo-Nazis and other white supremacists that turned violent last weekend was originally organized to protest the planned removal of a statue of Robert E Lee from a public park.
