Should Montgomery Mayor follow suit?

CNN Report: The Democratic Mayor of the 2nd Capital of the confederacy is using his powers to remove confederate statues.

Washington (CNN)The Democratic mayor of Richmond, Virginia, invoked his emergency powers on Wednesday to remove multiple Confederate monuments in the city, including a statue honoring Confederate Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, from the city's historic Monument Avenue.
Crews spent part of Wednesday afternoon removing the Jackson statue as scores of onlookers watched the monument honoring the late slave owner who fought to preserve slavery begin to come down after standing in the city for more than 100 years. The bronze statue finally came down just before 5 p.m. ET as a thunderstorm drenched the crowd, which had erupted into cheers.

Should the Democratic Mayor of Montgomery, the 1st Capital of the confederacy, do the same?
