Charlottesville removes Confederate statue at centre of deadly 2017 white supremacist protest

Share on Twitter A statue of US Confederate General Robert E. Lee has been taken down in Charlottesville, Virginia, nearly four years after white supremacist protests over plans to remove it led to clashes in which a woman was run down by a car and killed. Shortly after the removal of the Lee statue on Saturday, a statue of Confederate General Thomas Stonewall Jackson was also removed from its base in another city park. Onlookers who had gathered hours earlier cheered as the statues were loaded onto trucks and driven away. Taking down this statue is one small step closer to the goal of helping Charlottesville, Virginia, and America, grapple with the sin of being willing to destroy black people for economic gain, Charlottesville mayor Nikuyah Walker, who is African-American, told reporters before the Lee monument s removal.
