The prior monument was in place for less than 24 hours before it was destroyed by a man who was also accused of destroying Oklahoma’s Ten Commandments monument.
Chief Deputy Secretary of State Kelly Boyd says there’s no way to fully
prevent vandalism but that officials are confident with the security of the final design.
