Protest against Confederate monuments disrupts art openings

In New Orleans, an annual art event was interrupted when around 30 protesters blocked an intersection and used bullhorns to lead chants against white supremacy. The protest wasn’t of the event, but a call to remove several Confederate monuments from the city. The protest was soon broken up, but city officials want to remove four of the offending monuments. However, a judge has ordered that the monuments be left in place.
