| Matthew Hinton | Holding the Confederate Stars and Bars flag, Jenna Bernstein, who identified herself as Jewish and pro-Confederate, right, gets a kiss from Charles Lee Hughes, a black man holding the Confederate battle flag, at the Confederate Robert E. Lee monument, in New Orleans, La. Thursday, May 18, 2017. The monument was erected in 1884 by ex-Confederates and white Southerners. The New Orleans City Council voted to remove the statue 16 months ago in Dec. 2015 and three other monuments that have already been removed including a statue of Confederate Jefferson Davis, Confederate P.G.T. Beauregard, and the white supremacist Battle of Liberty Place White League monument. The Lee statue was first unveiled during the Jim Crow racial segregation era with Davis and Beauregard in attendance, and also two daughters of Lee. The monument was placed in what once was Tivoli Circle or Place du Tivoli. New Orleans only spent 14 months in the Confederacy and spent the majority of the Civil War under Union control when the city was captured in 1862 with zero casualties and Tivoli Circle was used as a camp for Union soldiers during the war.
