Unrest on the campus of Ole Miss seems to be simmering down for now. Students put a demonstration planned for Friday on hold. They were upset administrators seemed slow to take action over their concerns about a Confederate statue on campus.
Protestors want the statue moved to a Confederate cemetery, but late Thursday night came word the Ole Miss chancellor now supports removing the monument.
The protests last month may have worked. The chancellor saying he’s now discussing relocation with historic preservation officials.
