YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe largest remaining Confederate statue in the US is no longer sitting on its pedestal.
The six-story-tall, 12-ton statue of American Confederate General Robert E. Lee that towered over Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, for more than 130 years was moved earlier today.
This is one of the many confederate symbols that have been removed or renamed in the past year.
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam says this is a step forward for the state of Virginia.
The 40' granite pedestal will be repurposed. The city of Richmond and the Virginia Department of Fine Arts will work to "reimagine Monument Avenue," a tourism area in the city.
