Activist Group Armed with Ropes Plans to Pull Down Andrew Jackson Monument

By Jeff Adelson | 15 September 2016

THE ADVOCATE — A New Orleans activist group is threatening to pull down the city’s most recognizable statue in response to what members claim are unreasonable delays in removing four other monuments honoring Confederate leaders and a 19th century white supremacist militia.

Take ‘Em Down NOLA says it will attempt to topple the statue of Andrew Jackson during a protest later this month in Jackson Square. Legal delays have kept the other statues — honoring Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and P.G.T. Beauregard, and a militia known as the White League — standing nine months after the City Council authorized their removal.

“We’re going to go to Jackson Square. We’re going to put ropes around Andrew Jackson and we’re going to take him down off his pedestal,” Take ‘Em Down organizer and longtime civil rights activist Malcolm Suber said during a forum the group held Thursday.

The demonstration, scheduled for Sept. 24, will come a few days before judges on the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals are scheduled to hear arguments over whether to lift an order that halted the removal of the monuments. []

  1. This pulling down of statues is a diabolical attempt, largely succeeding, of wiping out all white history from our sight. If it’s a race war the globalists want, they’re on the right track, they will surely get it. Even in Canada, the same enemies of our society want to pull down statues of the first Prime Minister John A. MacDonald. We have make a stand against this insanity.
