An official says work to remove the final city-owned Confederate monument from Richmond, Virginia, should start this week.
Among the notable monuments removed was an imposing statue of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, which was taken down from a concrete pedestal in 2020 along Richmond, Virginia’s famed Monument Avenue.
The indirect descendants and the city have agreed that Richmond’s plan to move Hill’s remains to a cemetery in Culpeper should be allowed to move forward. But these descendants contend they have control over the statue and want it relocated to Cedar Mountain Battlefield, near the cemetery, instead of to the museum.
The city has spent at least $1.8 million removing other city-owned monuments, the Richmond Times-DispatchCheek determined that delaying the removal would result in additional cost and retain a potential traffic hazard.
