Federal judge allows New Orleans to proceed with Confederate monument removal | NOLA.com
"...City Council voted 6-1 last month, at the mayor's request, to declare as public nuisances monuments to
Robert E. Lee, 
Jefferson Davis, 
P.G.T. Beauregard 
and the Battle of Liberty Place, allowing the city to remove them from public spaces.
"We are pleased with the court's sound ruling on this issue," C. Hayne Rainey, the mayor's press secretary, said in a statement.
 "Once removed, the monuments will be stored in a city-owned warehouse until further plans can be developed for a private park or museum site where the monuments can be put in a fuller context."
