With the removal of Confederate statues at the forefront of a national discussion, the state of Alabama will erect another one next to an RV park this month.

Jimmy Hill, commander of the Alabama Sons of Confederate Veterans, tells MLive sister-publication AL.com that the memorial will go up 2 p.m. on Aug. 27. The statue will serve as a memorial for "unknown confederate soldiers," and will go up 50 miles south of Montgomery in a Confederate memorial park next to an RV park.

The public invited to the statue's unveiling. While the statue's unveiling comes at an interesting time, Hill says the date is only a coincidence and that he picked Aug. 27 five months ago.

The Confederate memorial park was dedicated in 2015, and is open to the public despite being owned on private land by Sons of Confederate Veterans member David Coggins.

"The public's invited. Anyone who wants to can come to celebrate the unveiling of another monument to Confederate soldiers," Hill told AL.com. "He's (Coggins) putting it up [to memorialize] soldiers who came out of Crenshaw County or surrounding counties who never came home."

On Aug. 12, white nationalists protested the removal of Charlottesville, Virginia's plans to remove a public shrine of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Three people were killed and more than 26 were injured as a result of the gathering.

Two days after this, protesters in Durham, North Carolina took the removal of a prominently displayed statue honoring Confederate soldiers into their own hands. Protesters toppled the near century-old Confederate Soldiers Monument with a rope on Monday. The statue is of a Confederate soldier holding a rifle in front of an old courthouse building that is now used for governmental offices.

The city of Baltimore opted to remove their's themselves overnight and in the early hours of Wednesday morning. After the city council unanimously voted to remove the statues, crews started work quickly. The monuments taken down in Baltimore included ones for the likes of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson.

Earlier this year, the city of New Orleans removed its many Confederate monuments as well. Crews doing the overnight work had to wear protective masks and bullet-proof vests due to fears of protesting.

One defender of Confederate shrines in public places is President Donald Trump, who said after Baltimore removed its statues that "beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced.

He then went onto compare Confederate leaders Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson to Founding Fathers George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
