This plaque honoring Janie Agnes Little, mother of the man who paid to have the attractive brick sidewalk pictured laid around the Charleston courthouse, has again been defaced.
, This plaque honoring Janie Agnes Little has again been defaced.
Yet again, someone has defaced an attractive plaque on the grounds of the Tallahatchie County Courthouse in Charleston that simply reminds the public of a son's great love for his mother.
The plaque was installed in the late 2000s after successful Germantown entrepreneur Winston Wolfe shelled out upwards of $100,000 to beautify the Charleston Court Square in memory of his late mother, Charleston native Janie Agnes Little.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary gave good advice: "Please stop the fake outrage.": Anyone with an open mind would know that Trump is not a racist as evidenced by his recent celebration of Black History Month in the White House.
