A towering statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia, is now taken down on Wednesday as a symbol of racial injustice, more than 130 years after it was erected in tribute to the South’s Civil War leader.
The Virginia Supreme Court ruled last week that the state of Virginia can remove the 60-foot-tall Gen. Robert E. Lee statue from a traffic circle on Monument Avenue in Richmond.
The rulings cleared the way for Virginia to remove the statue, the largest confederate monument in the South.
