the city of St. Louis from removing a Confederate monument from Forest Park.St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Robert Dierker on Monday issued the injunction
and set a July 6 hearing for arguments over whether the city or the Missouri
Civil War Museum owns the monument.
The museum filed a lawsuit Friday against the city, contending the United
Daughters of the Confederacy signed over the ownership rights to the monument
last week.
The city contends it controls the monument and wants to remove it soon.
Dierker’s ruling came as city workers were installing steel rigging on the
structure Monday, in preparation for removing the 38-foot monument.
