Duke University has decided to remove the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee following the backlash from the violent protest in Charlottesville, Virginia. The school’s president, Vince Price, explained in a letter that he had discussed the issue with the campus community before making the decision. The statue had been damaged by vandalism earlier in the week.
