The Confederacy has long been a controversial topic in the United States. While the state has long been associated with racism and slavery, many modern southerners view the Confederacy as an important part of southern heritage.
Until recently, relics of the Confederate States of America have been allowed throughout the south for historical purposes, but in today’s politically correct climate, many of those monuments have been forcibly removed.
Last year, statues of Robert E. Lee, the commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, were removed from locals parks in Virgina. The contractor who removed the statues found his Lamborghini torched in response.
Now, more statues of the former general are coming down across the state — at huge cost.

Rename Malcolm X Blvd to something else. Our History can not be changed leave the statue alone.
Leave this alone this is history. Make these schools teach history then they would know why these thinks are here.
STUPID
Robert E Lee truly was a great gentleman and general. So sad he cannot be remembered as such. It’s history; you shouldn’t try to hide it because it offends some people.
