A petition on change.org calls for the replacement of the "Confederate Monument in Downtown Anderson with a statue of Chadwick Boseman." More than 3,000 people have signed so far.

"With Chadwick Boseman’s early passing, it is important that we honor a true local legend my immortalizing him in stone in front of the courthouse. The Confederate Monument belongs in a museum, but has no right to be displayed there," so the petition, which calls for the old statue not to be destroyed but replaced as it is "beyond time for its retirement."

Two petitions have been launched on the online petition platform change.org. Both have managed to reach over 1.000.000 digital supporters within a week since being started.

One calls for the ban of the Ku Klux Klan calling it a "white supremacist hate group" because of their "historical background of terrorism, including countless physical assaults and murders".

The second petition calls for the KKK being declared as a "Terrorist Organization".
