Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam filed a request for a bill that would replace Virginia's statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in the United States Capitol building.

The filing came after Democratic Virginia lawmakers Jennifer Wexton and A. Donald McEachin, both requested that Northam prioritize removing the Lee statue. They also recommended a number of Virginians who could replace Lee including educator and orator Booker T. Washington and civil rights attorney Oliver Hill.

Robert Edward Lee was a Confederate soldier, best known as a commander of the Confederate States Army. He commanded the Army of Northern Virginia in the American Civil War from 1862 until its surrender in 1865.
