Confederate monument in St. Louis vandalized again
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}For the second time in a week, the Confederate monument in St. Louis' Forest Park has been targeted.
KMOV-TV reports that "Black Lives Matter" and "End Racism" were four spray-painted on the 103-year-old granite monument early Saturday. Graphic language had been painted on the monument following protests and counter-protests on May 23.
Mayor Lyda Krewson, who took office in April, plans to have the monument removed soon. She expects to have a removal plan finalized by the end of June.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Cities across the South have either removed or are considering removing monuments and statues to the Confederacy. Some see them as vestiges of racism, while others say they simply mark a part of the nation's history.
