Orlando's "Johnny Reb" statue once stood at Lake Eola. It's now in a cemetery. Hillsborough County recently voted to remove one from outside its old courthouse.

It's happening in lots of places. Nearly all did it under pressure from people who say they are a painful reminder of a dark part of America's past.
