And here goes Mitch

Mayor Landrieu to appear on 'Meet the Press' Sunday

quote:

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu is scheduled to appear on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, more than a week after his administration finished removing Confederate monuments in the city. The mayor has been receiving praise for a speech he delivered on the topic, with positive reviews from news outlets nationwide -- including the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune. Although the mayor's speech and the monuments removal have been covered nationwide, Landrieu's appearance on the Sunday talk show could further underscore what's become a nationwide discussion on race relations. Landrieu has consistently framed the monuments' removal as a way to address obstacles to the city's growth and celebrate its diversity.

they should shut down the World War II museum as well since black soldiers were segregated from whites at that time.
