Derek BlanksWho better to replace the Confederate Monument in Olde Towne Portsmouth, VA, than Missy Elliott?
A fan of the “Work It” star and Portsmouth native has created a petition on Change.org asking others to sign it in support of swapping the Confederate monument with one of Elliott.
“We believe it is time to finally replace the Confederate Monument in Olde Towne Portsmouth Virginia near the intersection of Court and High streets with a new statue of a true Portsmouth native hero,” the petition reads.
“Who better to encapsulate the culture and spirit of the city enshrined in a new monument than Grammy Award winning rapper, dancer, and record producer Missy ‘Misdemeanor’ Elliott?”
Over 23,000 people have signed the petition so far toward its goal of 25,000 signatures.
