(San Antonio Express) The University of Texas at Austin will temporarily delay relocating its statue of Jefferson Davis from the campus’ main mall after a Confederate veterans group on Friday asked a state district court to block the move.
“In response to a request for a temporary restraining order that was filed in state district court Friday afternoon, the university has agreed to wait to move the statues until a court has a chance to review this matter next week,” UT-Austin Director of Media Relations Gary Susswein said in a statement.
Workers were slated to begin removing the statues of Davis and former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson today.
