In Virginia's capital, the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was taken down last week and all that remains is the massive pedestal.
It was demonstrations last year over racism and police brutality nationwide — including in Richmond — following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis that led Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to order the removal of the enormous Lee statue.
The statue was taken down Sept. 8, 2021, almost a week after the Virginia Supreme Court cleared the way with a decision involving litigation that had blocked the removal.
