Governor of VA today announced that he is going to have the Robert E Lee Statue in downtown Richmond removed. Says it's racist. If the conservative whites protest it would be terrible.
Robert E Lee is a huge part of the history of not just VA but of the whole south.

With them removing the South's war statues, are they removing the ones up North as well? Surely the statues are going to personal collections somewhere.

Why store it, it will never be put back on state land and they won't sell it I bet if they think someone will put it back up again. |

angusrancher, just looking at the size of the statue, I don't see how they can store it. I am afraid they will bust it up just by trying to pick it up. I am sure that the horse and rider are separate from the base.

I wish they would put this one in my pasture but I'm sure it would get vandalized.
