A Confederate monument in Florida will make a move after being the centerpiece of a city park for more than 100 years.
On Monday, the Lakeland City Commission voted in favor of removing the statue of a Confederate soldier that was erected in 1910 to honor those who died in the Civil War.
The city manager will now begin the removal process and analyze new, potential sites for the statue, according to a report by the Lakeland Ledger.
The commission rejected a proposal to leave the statue where it is, but build other monuments near it to create a "heritage trail."
