CHARLOTTE — A Confederate historical marker was vandalized and Channel 9 is asking North Carolina state officials if they’re investigating.
The marker is in uptown Charlotte just off North Tryon Street where it meets 11th Street. On Tuesday, a Channel 9 crew could see that someone had splashed red paint on it, partially covering the words.
The marker’s inscription recognizes the place where Confederate President Jefferson Davis met with other leaders at the end of the Civil War.
Mecklenburg County said it reported the vandalism to the state Highway Historical Marker Program, which owns the sign.
There was no information immediately available about when the marker was defaced, or if anyone will be charged in connection to the incident.
