LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Lexington city crews have cleaned up a statue of a Confederate leader that had been spray-painted with the phrase "Black Lives Matter."

The John Hunt Morgan statue at the old courthouse on Main Street was sprayed with black paint across the Confederate general's name. It happened sometime before Friday morning.
Lexington Mayor Jim Gray says he doesn't condone the vandalism, but understands that the statue brings out strong feelings. He says it's time for the city to reconsider its Confederate memorials.
