The former New Orleans mayor in 2017 called for the longest standing Confederate monuments to be taken down in Louisiana. "??In the second decade of the 21st century, asking African Americans--or anyone else--to drive by property that they own occupied by reverential statues of men who fought to destroy the country and deny that person's humanity seems perverse and absurd," he said.
