The last public Confederate monument in Richmond, Virginia, a statue of Confederate General A.P. Hill, was removed Monday after months of delays. "Richmond had more Confederate monuments than any other city in the United States of America. And we were the former capital of Confederacy. And so this wasn't just two years of work. This was 100 years of difficult work," Mayor Levar Stoney told reporters Monday. "And I'm proud that we've now arrived at this moment in our history." The effort to remove the Hill statue was more complicated because Hill's remains were buried beneath it. Hill's indirect descendants agreed to allow the city to move Hill's remains to a cemetery in Culpeper, but argued in court that they should have control over where to relocate the statue. Circuit Court Judge David Eugene Cheek Sr. ruled against them in October. 🔗 Click the link in our bio to read more about the effort to remove Confederate monuments.
