A. L. started this petition to The City of New Orleans
Robert E. Lee stood for slavery, whereas the venerable Aretha Franklin blossomed an inspirational musical career with roots in delta blues, gospel and jazz. This is the lotus flower of the South that New Orleans ought to be celebrating.
If you feel like spitting out your coffee whenever Google Maps navigation announces an imminent turn onto Robert E. Lee Blvd., this is a petition for you to endorse. Robert E. Lee's statue was removed not too long ago here in New Orleans. His name belongs in history books detailing his endorsement of slavery. There is no place for his commemoration in the modern United States of America.
