Mayor Greg Fischer and University of Louisville President James Ramsey announced Friday the Confederate statue on U of L’s Belknap campus will be removed ... “It is time for U of L to step forward in partnership with the city of Louisville to remove the monument…in respect of all people” ... “The stain of slavery & racism that this monument represents for many, many people has no place in a compassionate, forward leaning city.”
