Just hours after a heated argument led to a violent attack on someone calling for the removal of the city’s Confederate-era monu - ments, the City of New Orleans took down the third of four monuments the City Council voted in Dec. 2015 to remove from public spaces. The P.G.T. Beauregard Equestrian Statue, which honors the former Confederate General and St. Bernard Parish native, was taken down in a process that began Tuesday night and ended before dawn on Wednesday morning, May 17. All that remains at the site is the pedestal base upon which the monument sat, which the Landrieu adminis - tration said would be moved at a later date. The Battle of Liberty Place monument was taken down overnight on April 24, followed by the May 8 overnight removal of the Jefferson ‘Choose freedom over fear,’ singer, songwriter and actress Davis monument in Mid-City.
