According to Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson, an email signed “White Lies Matter” was sent to media outlets after the monument’s theft threatening to turn the chair into a toilet if the United Daughters of the Confederacy didn’t display a banner at the Virginia headquarters with a quote from a Black Liberation Army activist on the anniversary of the South’s surrender in the Civil War.
