Removal Of Robert E. Lee Statue In Richmond
State troopers watch as workers saw the statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee into two pieces for transport following its removal. The Virginia supreme court ruled last week that the six-story monument could be removed. It has yet to be determined whether the pedestal covered in anti-racism graffiti will be removed given its prominent role in the 2020 anti-racism uprising in Richmond.
