Richmond serves as the capital of Virginia and is located in the Piedmont region in the state's east-central portion, on the fall line of the James River.
The enormous pedestal where the Robert E. Lee monument in Virginia’s capital resided for over 130 years until September has been completely removed and hauled away. Every piece of the 40-foot-tall (12-meter-tall) pedestal where the bronze statue stood over Monument Avenue in Richmond was gone from a traffic circle as of Friday afternoon, WRIC-TV reported. Gov. Ralph Northam announced in early December that the pedestal which had been covered in graffiti following the 2020 protests related to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis would be removed, marking a course reversal from September.
