Tensions Rise as New Orleans Prepares to Topple Confederate Monuments

 At Lee Circle, an intersection less than a mile from one of the Mississippi River’s snaking bends through this city, local legend has it that the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee stands, arms folded, facing north so as to keep an eye on his adversaries.

"Tensions Rise as New Orleans Prepares to Topple Confederate Monuments" is from the May 07, 2017 National section of The Washington Post. It was written by Janell Ross and narrated by Sam Scholl.
