Listen. 

     Originally aired as a segment on The Marc Steiner Show in June 2016, this story explores the context of the statue of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson that exists in Wyman Park, and takes an in-depth look at the history behind the monument and how it became enshrined in one of Baltimore’s public parks.
     After violent protests by white supremacists and Neo-Nazis in Charlotesville, Virginia and the death of counter-protestor Heather Heyer, the city of Baltimore decided to remove the Lee-Jackson monument and three other Confederate monuments on the night of August 16, 2017.
