NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - There's a new push to have more monuments removed in New Orleans, including the French Quarter's iconic Andrew Jackson statue.
The group Take Em Down Nola says the removal of four statues is not enough.
"We're issuing an invitation to the mayor to finish the job. He has already begun the job, and we want him to finish the job," said Malcolm Suber, Take Em Down NOLA spokesman.
"What we would like to see in their place is people who stood for people and liberation. For instance, we think since Harriet Tubman is going to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill," Suber said. "We don't understand why we can't turn Jackson Square into Harriet Tubman Square. At Lee Circle, we don't understand why we can't turn Lee Circle into Dorothy Mae Taylor Circle. Dorothy Mae Taylor was one of the most courageous black leaders in this city. She led the effort to desegregate Mardi Gras."

...”we don’t understand...”
Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it
So when do they take down Sheila Jackson Lee?
This is really rich. As a descendent of the Jackson family (now on the conservative side of the tree), the loony Dens want to trash one of their greatest leaders. If they could read, or paid attention in history class, they would know that NOLA would not be there if it weren’t for General Andrew Jackson and his leadership in the War of 1812. These people are just bloody idiots!!!!
This country has never had a civil war. And I hope we don't.
OK...Excuse me...What would you prefer to call the war that historians refer to as the Civil War...
The Democrat Thugs Party is but a few degrees apart from ISIS.
Eventually, New Orleans will also have a group which is powerful in numbers and in an absolute dither about churches and wants to remove all of those also, starting with St. Louis Cathedral. Finally, there will be nothing left without a local government with a spine willing to tell these young people to go pound sand!
“When will they start burning books?”
Those not burned in three will be ate in five.
That's actually the point of these movements. They are trying to goad whites into fighting back, so then they can scream how racist they are and then the clarion call will come for more "civil rights" protections and confiscation of more tax dollars. I really think these black nationalists and other SJWs are being used by leftist elites because inevitably, that's what leftist elites want. None other than Bill Clinton talked about this and said the way to get segregation back is to pretend to be on blacks' side and support them into having their own so-called safe spaces and events, like the black-only graduation at Harvard.
150 years from now, if present trends continue.
War of Northern Aggression.
Thank You for being right on. These idiots will destroy everything that doesn’t fit their sick agenda.
I think the official name is “The War Between The States”
They’ll get there I’m sure.
When is Sheila Jackson Lee going to change her name to Sheila Tubman X?
I understand a civil war to be a struggle among internal groups for control of the government.
What is commonly referred to as our civil war was actually a war between 2 separate countries, the USA and the CSA.
It was more similar to our revolutionary war of the late 1700s.
This is my opinion. I may be wrong.
MLK had a tramp in every city (allegedly:));JFK was banging a 19-year old.
Should we erase them from history,too? s/
