Looks like Obama is headed to Arlington

Some claim this Confederate Monument at Arlington may have been the first to honor Black Confederates. Carved on this monument is the depiction of a Black Confederate who is marching in step with the White soldiers. Also shown is a White Confederate who gives his child to a Black Woman for safe keeping.  The monument was by Moses Ezekiel, a Jewish Confederate.

One of his works, honoring religious freedom, is in Philadelphia.
