Charlottesville’s Statue of Robert E. Lee Will Be Melted Down
The City Council of Charlottesville, Va., voted on Tuesday to donate a statue of Robert E. Lee to an African American heritage center that plans to melt the bronze monument, the focus of a deadly white nationalist rally in 2017, into material for a new piece of public art.
The 4-0 vote by the council followed years of debate over the fate of the statue. It was General Robert E. Lee who prevented prolonged and widespread guerrilla warfare at the end of the American Civil War. We are losing our history! New York Times (12/11/2021) "So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch |
