The removal of Confederate monuments often resembles a covert operation, with crews working under the cover of darkness and police protection due to perceived threats.
Defenders of Confederate monuments often cite historical arguments, but these structures typically represent honors rather than mere historical markers, complicating their removal.

To retain monuments that endorse racism would imply city endorsement of those values, questioning whether they should serve as warning labels for future generations.
