Removal Of Robert E. Lee Statue In Richmond
The headless statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee and the empty base on which it stood viewed through multiple layers of fencing to ensure the public stayed out of harms way while the 12-ton statue is moved. The statue was cut into two pieces for transportation. 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.
