As workers removed a massive Confederate obelisk from the old DeKalb County Courthouse Thursday night, attorney Mawuli Davis celebrated with a countdown to Juneteenth.
“This was mounted and erected to intimidate our ancestors,” said Davis as he livestreamed the removal of the 112-year-old, 30-foot-tall monument. Davis is a partner at the Davis Bozeman Firm in DeKalb County and co-chair of the Beacon Hill Black Alliance for Human Rights.
