​

When:  Saturday, February 15th, 3-5p.m. on James Island.  An address will be provided upon purchase of a ticket.

 

What:   All proceeds from this event will support legal and political efforts of the AHA to re-erect both the John C. Calhoun monument and Lee memorial in Charleston.  Beer and wine will be provided along with traditional oyster roast fare.

​

Why:     In June of 2020, former Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg led the effort to remove the 130+ year old monument to U.S. Vice-President John C. Calhoun, arguably the grandest monument in all of South Carolina.  This action directly violated the charitable trust agreement the city entered into with the Ladies Calhoun Monument Association when it accepted the responsibility of maintaining and protecting the monument.  The terms of the agreement said the city must care for the monument as a "priceless treasure".  The following year, the Charleston County School Board removed the Robert E. Lee Memorial on Upper King Street, which according to a statement by SC Attorney General Alan Wilson was a violation of state law. The AHA is funding the pending lawsuit against the City of Charleston for the removal of the Calhoun monument and has refiled the lawsuit regarding the Lee Memorial with the Charleston Chapter 4 of the UDC as the plaintiffs. Both lawsuits seek to put the monuments back up.   The tide shall turn, and it shall start in CHARLESTON!​​
