"The monument is located on land given by the county government to the United Daughters of the Confederacy as a "park for white people"." is false and uncited. The land is owned by the UDC but there was never a whites only part of the story "In 1966, after an all-white jury acquitted the killer of Civil Rights worker Samuel Younge Jr.," He was ACCUSED and acquitted, the true killer was never caught Gijoegotogo (talk) 06:33, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Removed "park for white people" per WP:PROVEIT. The matter of whether Segrest should be described as the killer of Younge Jr. should probably be discussed on Talk:Sammy Younge Jr.. (courtesy ping, ) — LauritzT (talk) 08:08, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The AP source (which is repeated in several forms) says it was “set aside exclusively for white people.” It would be nice to see a separate, concordat source, though.  Acroterion   (talk)   09:18, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
 * As for Segrest, it appears that the acquittal centered around a claim of self-defense, and that there was no question of who killed Younge. However, it would be best to source to scholarly accounts, rather than to news articles, and the acquittal should be mentioned.  Acroterion   (talk)   09:27, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This source, among others, addresses both the "park for white people" assertion and the confession by Younge's killer   Acroterion   (talk)   12:09, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
