Seems that the Lee, Davis, Beauregard and Liberty Place monument removals are not enough for some people. The "Take'em Down NOLA" group is after everything else in the city that smacks of slavery. That apparently now includes Andrew Jackson and Tulane University.
"New Orleanians should not be satisfied with the removal of the four monuments, and instead push for a much more widespread clearance of monuments, street names, school names and other tributes to those tied to ****, leaders of Take 'Em Down NOLA told a crowd of supporters during a Thursday night (March 23) meeting at Cafe Istanbul in the Marigny."
This paragraph is rich:
" 'These structures litter our city with visual reminders of the horrid legacy of slavery that terrorized so many of this city's ancestors. They misrepresent our community. We demand the freedom to live in a city where we are not forced to pay taxes for the maintenance of public symbols that demean us and psychologically terrorize us,' the statement reads."
