Virginia Governor Announces Removal of Robert E. Lee Statue

[Rsmyth]

"unveiling of the Lee statue served as a moment of reconciliation for Americans."
Perhaps that should be changed to "some Americans." I doubt any Black Americans attended the unveiling. This is a defining moment in this countries's history and a chance to heal centuries old problems. The removal of this statue along with all the others and banning of confederate flags at NASCAR events and changing of army bases named after southern generals will help in the healing. If you believe these icons should remain during these pivotal times, take a good look at yourself; you just may be part of the problem.
