What remains of the PGT Beauregard monument base , even the inscription was removed and is now a major eyesore. The statue was near City Park and was at the entrance of the NO Museum of Art. Thousands of people visit this museum daily.
Upon removal, a father and son spray painted and Gen Beauragrd's name back onto the monument. They were immediately arrested for de-facing and vandalizing a public historical monument There is NO monument to deface... just a concrete blob !
Meanwhile Gen Beauregard still sits in the city waste yard (trash pile) ... Landrieu promised all the statues would be safely housed in a warehouse
