Diverse group of anti-racism protesters knock down confederate monument in NC.

Anti-racist protesters in North Carolina have torn down a statue honoring the “Confederate States of America” — in the attempt to “smash white supremacy,” a report says.

Video posted online Monday night shows the crowd tying ropes to the old Durham County courthouse monument, which was dedicated to the city in 1924, and pulling it down moments later.
