New Orleans, Louisiana USA May 19, 2017: City workers in body armor and masks remove the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from its pedestal in New Orleans in front of a cheering crowd of onlookers. The 16-foot statue, standing on an 8-foot pedestal atop a 60-foot column, was erected in 1884 in a prominent downtown location. Mayor Mitch Landrieu ordered the controversial removal of the Lee statue and three other monuments to the Confederacy. Credit: Bob Daemmrich/Alamy Live News
