Cross Protest

People are speaking out after a group known as the Freedom From Religion Foundation has demanded that crosses on a hilltop in Elizabethton be removed.Although the national group, which is based in Wisconsin, has demanded they be removed, many of the City’s residents are vehemently opposed to the idea. On Sunday, a group of protestors gathered at the intersection of Elk and Lynn Avenue to say they want the crosses to stay up.The group advocating for their removal argues that the matter is a violation of the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause since they sit on public property.
