Statue of General Robert E. Lee at Lee Circle in New Orleans

New Orleans

The Mayor of New Orleans wants this statue taken down. You cannot erase history no matter how hard you try.

So sad, he was a great soldier and an honorable man.

Removing these items from the South doesn't change what happened but it will allow that past to be forgotten because we all know the saying "out of sight, out of mind"... so sad.

I don't understand why he would want it removed...it is history!

Maybe he wants his own statue up there! Hope they all stay put! It's history!

It's probably on a very profitable piece of land some developer wants...keep on fighting, Coleen !!
