Mobs have even torn down a statue honoring Ulysses S. Grant, who defeated the Confederacy. The attorney for George Floyd's family isn't so sure that tearing down statues is a constructive idea, and it might be counterproductive.
Ben Crump is a prominent civil rights attorney who has represented the families of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown Jr., Tamir Rice, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd. Crump isn't sure that removing controversial statues, even Confederate monuments, will have the positive effects that some activists think it will.
