Creper,
The Liberty Place monument, a 35-foot granite obelisk that paid tribute to whites who tried to topple a biracial Reconstrucion government installed in NO after the Civil war, was taken away on a truck in pieces before daybreak after a few hour work. In the coming days, the city will also remove three statues of Confedearte Gens. Robert E Lee, and P.G.T. Beauregard and Confederate President Jefferson Davis. We. will no longer allow the Confederacy to literally be put on a pedestal in the heart of our city. Mayor Mitch Landrieu vowed.
