93.9 The Eagle – The News and Talk of Columbia, MO
The Jefferson City Council pushes back a vote to remove a Confederate marker that has stood on the city’s east side since before World War 2.
The Moreau Drive marker recaps when Confederate General Sterling Price turned away from attacking Jefferson City in 1864.
Councilman Ron Fitzwater made a successful motion on Monday night to take the vote off the agenda and to have the measure reviewed by council committees.
A large crowd testified for hours about saving or tearing down the marker.
