The US Military Academy will begin removing monuments and iconography memorializing the Confederacy from its campus, including a portrait of general Robert E. Lee in a confederate uniform, according to officials. The decision is the central focus of West Point’s plan to undergo a “multi-phased process” to remove all 13 identified references and installations honoring the Confederacy around its campus, the academy’s superintendent, Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland, wrote in a letter to the West Point community.
