Church officials Wednesday removed a memorial to Confederate Gen.Robert E. Lee that was first mounted to a tree outside St. Johns Episcopal Church inFort Hamilton more than 100 years ago.
Busts of Lee and Jackson were removed overnight on Aug. 17, from the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at Bronx Community College. Prior to its removal, Bronx Borough president Ruben Diaz Jr. had said "there is nothing great about two men who committed treason against the United States to fight to keep the institution of slavery intact."
Established in the mid-nineteenth century as Grace Church, and renamed after his death to honor Robert E. Lee who served as Senior Warden, our church has almost 500 communicants and an average Sunday attendance of about 225.
After two years of tense debate in the congregation, the vestry voted, 7-5, on Sept. 18 to change the church's name to its previous Grace Episcopal Church.
