Now that the city of Augusta has voted to erase all mention of former Confederate President Jefferson Davis from the 5th Street bridge, a local historian is requesting that two of historical markers on that bridge be added to the collections at the Arts & Heritage Center of North Augusta. Milledge Murray wrote to the Augusta clerk of commission on Nov. 18 asking that the two plaques on the South Carolina side that bear Jefferson Davis' portrait and information about his service in the Confederate States of America be added to the Center's archives.
