    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Lee Elementary School   (East Wenatchee Bench, Washington)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Robert E. Lee Elementary School in East Wenatchee, Washington, was so named because, as the district already had a Ulysses S. Grant Elementary School, the school board felt it was only fair to acknowledge those who had migrated from the South, and in remembrance of the Missouri Compromise.  When it came time to erect a new school in 1955, the name Robert E. Lee was put forward.  In the wake of the Charleston shooting in June of 2015, some community members began to call for the school to be renamed.  Initially, the board decided to keep the name, believing it was a valuable history lesson.  However by August, the issue had risen again.  A contentious debate followed, with many arguing that the school's name made racism permissible within the community, while others countered that there were more concrete and direct ways of combatting racism that should be tackled instead.  Ultimately, it was unanimously voted that the school's name would be changed simply to "Lee Elementary," and while many in the community still pushed for the name to be scrapped altogether, it has remained Lee Elementary to this day.  The school still stands as it was originally constructed in 1955, a single story brick building with low eaves and blue exposed beam roof. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Jefferson Davis Highway Marker   (Vancouver, Washington)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In 1913, the Daughters of the Confederacy began a campaign to dedicate a route across the southern United States as the "Jefferson Davis Highway," a stretch later to include U.S. Route 99.  In 1940, with unofficial state approval, the Daughters of the Confederacy erected stone markers at each end of the Washington State portion of U.S. Route 99, designating it the Jefferson Davis Highway.  The stones are identical simple rectangular granite prisms, with an engraved dedication on the front.  The city of Vancouver removed their marker stone from public land in 1998 and placed it in a cemetery shed.  In 2002, the monument was moved to become part of an installation at the Clark County Historical Museum.  In 2007, the stone was again moved to the newly instated Washington Davis Park, where it remains to this day.  The Blaine, Washington stone also resides in the Jefferson Davis Park, after its removal in 2002 by state officials upon realizing the designation was never official.  In March of 2016, the Washington State Legislature renamed U.S. Route 99 the "William P. Stewart Memorial Highway," in honor of an Black volunteer during the civil war.  ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Situated in the triangle formed by Merchant’s Row on north and south, and South Peasant Street on the east, stands this beautiful memorial of Vermont granite as a reminder that Middlebury remembers her defenders. The monument is 32 feet and 1 inch in height and is composed of 49 sections of Jones Brothers company’s best quality, light, fine grained, medium Barre granite. The entire outside surface of the memorial is hammered, ten cut finish. The lower base, which sets upon a foundation of cement, is 17 feet six inches square, with an eight-inch rise, composed of 12 sections; the central base, 14 feet six inches square with an eight inch rise, comprises 12 sections, and the top base, 11 feet six inches square, with the same rise as the other bases, is composed of six sections. These three bases, of course, are surmounted by the pedestal, consisting of three pieces, die (?) cap and plinth. Located at each of the four corners of the central die is a life size statue in granite, each symbolical of an arm of the service. Facing Merchant’s Row are the artilleryman and cavalryman and, facing in an opposite direction, stands the marine and infantryman, while surmounting the whole is the color bearer with the colors at rest. (The Burlington Weekly Free Press: Thursday, June 1, 1905).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The monument was built of rusticated granite blocks in the form of an obelisk. The square base and plinth are also granite. It was fashioned after the Washington monument and stands 75 feet tall. Aside from a small Masonic notation the only inscription when constructed was "Vance" inscribed on each side of the plinth. In 1938 the Asheville Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy added a bronze plaque above the west face inscription. The monument had fallen into disrepair and was restored in 2015. At the June 2015 rededication another bronze plaque was placed on a small sloped granite block in front of the west face. The monument is surrounded by a black iron fence. Within the fence is another sloped granite block with a bronze inscription memorializing the capture of a piece of military equipment in World War I. As of current events, it is now shrouded, and is set for removal in the near future following consistent pressure from activist groups in the area.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This sandstone obelisk, completed in 1837, was the first monument built for UNC president Joseph Caldwell. In 1904, when the current monument in McCorkle Place was erected, the Class of 1891 placed this monument on Wilson Caldwell's grave in the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery and rededicated it to three other slaves who worked for the University with a marble stone placed at its base. It stands in the section reserved for African Americans in honour of Wilson Caldwell (whom university president David Swain owned), his father November Caldwell (whom Joseph Caldwell owned), and two other men, all long-time servants of the university. It was rededicated in 1904.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Soldiers' Monument located in monument Square, Dover-Foxcroft (originally two separate towns), is a twenty-five-foot-high granite monument, surmounted by a sculpture of a Union soldier at parade rest. It is dedicated to the men of Foxcroft who served on behalf of the Union during the American Civil War. The monument was funded and gifted to the town of Foxcroft in 1893 by Mr. Pegleg Washburn, a native of Foxcroft. A second identical monument was given to the town of Abbot, where his wife Sarah is buried. Although too old to serve, Washburn supported the Union during the war and wished to have a permanent memorial for the soldiers of both towns. The monument was made by the stone cutter firm Morse & Bridge of Dexter and dedicated on October 21st, 1893. The accompanying canon was obtained through the C. P. Chandler Post No, 154 G.A.R from a naval yard.         ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[After the Vancouver Jefferson Davis highway marker was removed from public land in 2006, the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans purchased a small plot of land in 2007 to be made into a public park that would permanently house the stone.  The stone now sits at the center of the small park, and above it fly three versions of the Confederate flag.  The second Jefferson Davis Highway marker stone was later added to the park.  The park has met with great pushback over the years, and has been vandalized several times, as protesters assert that the flying of the Confederate flags in so public a place is a blatant display of racism.  However, the state maintains that the flags are being flown on private property, and they and the park remain in place. ]]></dcterms:description>
