Robert E. Lee Statue, New Orleans Monument Removal

The final Confederate monument in New Orleans, a statue of Robert E. Lee, was removed in broad daylight following a decision by Mayor Mitch Landrieu. Proponents of the removal argue the statues celebrate a "sanitized Confederacy," while opponents claim the move rewrites history. The hosts discuss the cultural significance of these monuments in the South versus the perspective of "Yankees."
