Baltimore quietly took down Confederate statues overnight, days after violence broke out over the removal of a similar monument in Virginia
Wednesday, August 16, 2017 7:21 AM EDT

Statues dedicated to Confederate heroes were swiftly removed across Baltimore in the small hours of Wednesday morning, just days after violence broke out over the removal of a similar monument in neighboring Virginia.

Beginning soon after midnight on Wednesday, a crew, which included a large crane and a contingent of police officers, began making rounds of the city’s parks and public squares, tearing the monuments from their pedestals and carting them out of town.
