On Friday the last of four Confederate monuments was taken down in New Orleans, La.
Three of the monuments depicted General Robert E. Lee, Confederate Jefferson Davis and Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard. A fourth depicted a violent attack against an integrated police force in the name of white supremacy.
The removals were not met with opposition. Views on symbols of confederacy vary greatly among races. Only 33 percent of Americans believe the Confederate flag is a symbol of racism, rather than Southern pride. However, 75 percent of Blacks feel this way. And in New Orleans, the population is 60 percent Black.
