There is a difference between remembrance of history and reverence of it. For America and New Orleans, it has been a long, winding road, marked by great tragedy and great triumph. But we cannot be afraid of our truth.
By the very nature of removing monuments from a time long past, we are actually being afraid of our truth and our history.

This monuments to the Lost Cause of the Confederacy are not meant to remember history or truth. They are meant to promote fear and dominance.
