It seems that there is a call to pull down monuments across the South. Here are some articles. I got them from Kevin M. Levin's twitter feed.
One good thing about monument removal happening at many different places is that the Sons of Confederate Veteran can't concentrate their focus on one locality.
When the 2nd and 3rd city get rid of their monuments I think people in a city where there is still a Confederate monument will wonder what is wrong with their leadership.
