The statue, which honored children conscripted against their will into the Confederate Army during the Civil War, stood in Durham's public square since 1924.

If this point about the nature of the statue is accurate, it should be pushed hard. Holy fuck, talk about kicking an own goal.

Doesn't seem to be accurate. At least no mention of it in the best info I can find:
