    GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — A case was brought to Pitt County Superior Court on Monday involving the removal of the Pitt County Confederate Soldier’s Museum from the Pitt County Courthouse in June of 2022.

    Local citizens who feel that the county acted improperly in the statue’s removal brought the case to court. The case was filed by the Sons of Confederate Veterans and United Daughters of Confederacy-NC Division. Pitt County is the defendant in this civil lawsuit. The citizens who filed the claim say the county acted improperly to donate the memorial to a 3rd party who has intentions to move the monument to Virginia.

    WNCT is currently waiting to hear back from the Superior Court Clerk on the pending results or decision in this case.
