CONFEDERATE MONUMENT

Attorneys for the City of Pensacola say there are no state or federal laws that prohibit the removal of the Confederate monument in Lee Square. Last week, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and other groups obtained an emergency temporary restraining order to prevent the city from removing that monument. Pensacola Mayor Grover Robinson said city attorney Susan Woolf had thoroughly reviewed applicable laws before the City Council voted to remove the monument last week.
