Crews are set to remove one of the country’s largest remaining monuments to the Confederacy, a towering statue of Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia. In Richmond, a city that was the capital of the Confederacy for most of the Civil War, the Lee statue became the epicenter of last summer’s protest movement. The statue was the first of five Confederate monuments to be erected on Richmond’s Monument Avenue, at a time when the Civil War and Reconstruction were over, but Jim Crow racial segregation laws were on the rise.
