There’s an internet petition being circulated calling for keeping the confederate statue of The Talbot Boy outside the courthouse in Easton.
It has racked up over 500 signatures with the petition calling the statue a piece of history for the town and a work of art.
WBOC reports that the NAACP and some local churches say they want the statue to be moved from the courthouse grounds.
Richard Potter, president of the Talbot County Branch of the NAACP, told the station that the statue is a symbol of division with no monument for the union soldiers who died the civil war.
