A Mississippi town has taken down a Confederate monument that stood since 1910.
The figure was wrapped by tarps the past four years, symbolizing division over how to commemorate the past.
The Grenada City Council voted to move the monument in 2020, after Mississippi legislators retired a state flag featuring the Confederate battle emblem.
A new Grenada mayor and city council took office in May.
Last Wednesday, a crew removed the 20-foot stone structure. It is supposed to go behind a fire station.
