WEB Notes: History is always changed by those with the pen. This is not a symbol of hate, though that is all most people think anymore when they see that flag. Those in control of the media have effectively changed history so we see that flag in a negative light and remove it from our minds like they do with so many things.
Workers in New Orleans removed the first of four prominent Confederate monuments Monday morning, becoming the latest Southern institution to sever itself from symbols viewed by many as a representation of racism and white supremacy.
The Liberty Place monument, which commemorates whites who tried to topple a biracial post-Civil War government in New Orleans, was taken away on a truck in pieces around 5:35 a.m. after a few hours of work.
The removal happened early in the morning in an attempt to avoid disruption from supporters who want the monuments to stay, some of whom city officials said have made death threats.
