re: Idea I've had for what to do about the Confederate Monument situation

Jesus.

I've never been sober in New Orleans. I knew a number of them had already been removed.

I ASSUMED some of them were in Jackson Square. I know they want the Andrew Jackson one.

To date:

"Robert E. Lee stood erect, arms crossed over his chest, as his statue was ousted from its prominent 133-year perch in the heart of New Orleans.

Just after dawn, workers in masks and protective vests had converged around Lee Circle, a traffic roundabout between the city's bustling central business district and the wealthy Garden District neighborhood of antebellum mansions."

"Bitter disputes have erupted on New Orleans streets in recent weeks as the city has proceeded with its deeply contested plan to take down an equestrian statue of Confederate Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard and a bronze sculpture of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The Battle of Liberty Place obelisk, a marble monument that celebrates the 1874 uprising of a white supremacist militia against Louisiana’s Reconstruction state government, came down in April."

What else is in Jackson Square? Haven't been in New Orleans since 85 or so. Could have sworn I saw some other ones there. I remember the Lee statue, but don't think I saw the other two mentioned.

But as of now it appears that the Andrew Jackson statue is still there.
