(AP) Virginia s highest court ruled Thursday that the city of can take down two statues of Confederate generals, including one of Robert E. Lee that became the focus of a violent White nationalist rally in 2017.    The state Supreme Court overturned a Circuit Court decision in favor of a group of residents who sued to block the city from taking down the Lee statue and a nearby monument to fellow Gen. Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson. Charlottesville s city council voted to remove both.    White supremacist and neo-Nazi organizers of the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville said they went to the city to defend the statue of Lee. They clashed with counterprotesters before a man plowed his car into a crowd of people, killing a woman. The Jackson statue was erected in Jackson Park in 1921 and the Lee statue was erected in Lee Park in 1924.
