I didn't realize it was so old. Since the #1890s.
I remember seeing this commercial (years after it originally ran in the #1950s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExSlyoVTX3I

@sim A good number of them were set up in the #1940s, #1950s, #1960s as threats to the Black population. For instance, one Confederate monument in front of a #Mississippi courthouse merited an article in the local paper while I was working in the state because from certain angles, rebel soldier appears to wear a Klan hood.

Headline may be exaggerated. The story itself mentions "upwards of 10" tortured, mutilated, murdered bodies, likely killed in the #1950s. Racism and political extremism (either wing) are deadly.

@moonman Don't forget, #Occupy faced both gov't suppression and political co-option. Americans aren't willing any more to force long-term changes in response to gov't misconduct. I'd say those things dissipated its energy before it could gain the long-term influence necessary to change the country.
Compare with the movements of the late #1950s, #1960s, early #1970s, which had an effect mainly because (1) there wasn't any political organization willing to co-opt them and divert those energies into internal infighting; (2) the media's coverage of gov't suppression activities encouraged more Americans to support.
