Confederate Monuments Debate Moves Beyond New Orleans

A crew of workers in New Orleans on Wednesday removed the statue of Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, the third Confederate monument to come down in the city in the last month. But it won't be the last.

As the city plans to remove a fourth and final monument — a statue of Robert E. Lee in New Orleans' prominent Lee Circle — cities from St. Louis to Orlando are considering removing their own Confederate memorials.
