By Phillip Lentsch–
After all of the controversy the University of Louisville faced during the early months of 2016, the removal of the Confederate statue on U of L’s campus only fanned the flames.
On April 29, city workers began dismantling the Confederate monument following public statements from both Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and former U of L President James Ramsey, in which they supported the removal of the statue.
However, the past three months have been bogged down with court proceedings, protests and disagreement about where the statue should be relocated.
