Robert E. Lee’s name is now officially removed from the circle at Howard and St. Charles Avenues in New Orleans.
Thursday, the New Orleans City Council voted to give the location two names, one old and one new.
The park inside the location will now be called Harmony Circle. But the circle itself retains the name Tivoli Circle, the original name for the site before the Lee statue went up in the 1880s.
The city took down the statue of the Confederate general in May 2017.
The city has yet to decide what to do with the former Jefferson Davis and General P.G.T Beauregard monument sites.
