New Yorkers need only look to Brooklyn — where a plaque honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee has been affixed to a maple tree outside a church for more than 100 years. It won’t remain there much longer, though. Diocese officials announced Tuesday that they would be removing the plaque following the events in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend and renewed concerns over Confederate symbols and statues. “I think it is the responsible thing for us to do,” Bishop Lawrence Provenzano, of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, told Newsday. “People for whom the Civil War is such a critical moment — and particularly the descendants of former slaves — shouldn’t walk past what they believe is a church building and see a monument to a Confederate general,” he said. St. John’s Episcopal Church in Fort Hamilton, which is home to the plaque, has been closed since 2014 — but the maple tree has remained. [/QB][/QUOTE]
