The statue of Confederate Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, recently spray-painted with the slogan “Black Lives Matter,” stands in New Orleans on Sunday, June 28, 2015. The spray painting comes in the wake of a national movement to have Confederate flags and monuments removed from public places because they evoke racism. Beauregard gave the orders to fire on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. (Eliot Kamenitz/The Advocate via AP)
