Demonstrators from around the Delta gathered in Cleveland on July 3, 2020, to protest the Confederate statue outside the Bolivar County Courthouse. Protestors, many carrying signs that read Black Lives Matter, were asking the county to take down the statue without spending county money to relocate it or build a new home for it.
