There appear to be two points of view in the building of this history center in Fayetteville, NC.

Project supporters suggest: It will focus on life in the state starting from 1835 through the end of the 19th Century.

Community leaders, including the Mayor of Fayetteville, suggest: The site will turn into a shrine for white supremacists, creating tensions just as were created in Charlottesville in 2017.

The mayor believes the history center could become a place for confrontations between white supremacists and counter protestors.  He would rather the state money be used towards pressing community problems.
