The Confederate monuments are all gone in New Orleans; I read in the New Orleans paper that they are under lock and key in a secret location by order of the former mayor, Marc Morial (or maybe his daddy, Ernest Morial). No telling how long Bobby Lee's likeness will remain -- they'll pull it down eventually, but I think the state legislature's prospective, and consequential, displeasure is a restraining influence. Elsewhere in the South, as in Alabama, black politicians are making an issue of Confederate monuments and refusing to allow bills for their maintenance to pass, howbeit they are on public property.
