NC: Duke University Removes Robert E. Lee Statue After It Was Vandalized by Associated Press

Via Billy


Duke University removed a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee early Saturday, days after it was vandalized amid a national debate about monuments to the Confederacy.

The university said it removed the carved limestone likeness early Saturday from Duke Chapel where it stood among 10 historical figures depicted in the entryway. Another statue of Lee was at the heart of a violent protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, that turned deadly a week ago.

    I can't say with certainty that's an accurate translation, but from what I've seen online it probably is.

  3. So Sad. One of my high school friends graduated Duke in 1964, served and died in Vietnam. I'm sure he's looking down from heaven with tears in his eyes right now.
