CCNY Architecture Travel Fellows; This graffiti referencing the Ku Klux Klan is on the base of the Robert E. Lee Monument in Lee Circle. The monumuent has recently come under scrutiny in the city as it stands as a memorial to this Confederate General and defender of slavery, with many saying it no longer has a place in New Orleans. However, Lee Circle is a major landmark in the city, so perhaps this controversy can be used as a moment for teaching or rethinking how Confederate or racist monuments can be used or reinterpreted today.
