FILE--In this Dec. 20, 2018, file photo the 1935 statue of Robert E. Lee, by sculptor Alexander Phimister, sits in storage at Hensley Field, the former Naval Air Station on the west side of Mountain Creek Lake in Dallas. The buyer of the Lee statue for more than $1.4 million in a Dallas auction has been identified as a local law firm but the reason for the purchase still remains unclear. City leaders drew a top bid of $1,435,000 for the bronze sculpture from Dallas based Holmes Firm PC last week. The Dallas City Council is expected to vote on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 whether to approve the sale to the firm owned by Ronald L. Holmes. (Ashley Landis/The Dallas Morning News via AP, File)
