A committee appointed to consider the matter has decided to have a major Confederate monument in St. Louis removed.
With the monuments removed from New Orleans and St. Louis it will set the momentum rolling for more monuments to be removed. Memphis is getting rid of its Forrest monument. If Baltimore doesn't move on removing its monuments it will seem very anomalous.
The tendency is developing for monuments in major cities to be removed.
Every Confederate monument removed makes the remaining Confederate monuments seem more anomalous and the failure act to remove them a negative mark on a community.
