Across the South, you find Confederate monument relics: often outside a courthouse, or in a cemetery. One monument was vandalized the end of last year at historic Myrtle Hill Cemetery in Rome, Georgia. The statue featured a Confederate soldier holding a rifle. Cemetery staff found the soldier's face smashed, and his hands missing. Cemetery director Stan Rogers talked about the long road ahead to repair it.
