I heard on the radio it was the statue of Albert Pike, confederate general, 33rd degree Freemason, a founder of the KKK.
Pike was quite a major figure in American history ... and in NWO history if one is so inclined.

Now this is very interesting since Albert Pike was a VERY key figure of Freemasonry. He was, in fact, the author of ‘Morals and Dogma’ and many other related works.
