The statue of the Confederation General, Robert E.
Lee, was revealed at Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, almost four years after protesting the white supremacy of the plan to remove it caused a clash where a woman ran down the car and was killed.
Shortly after the removal of the statue of Lee, the statue of the General Confederation of Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was also removed from his base in another city park.
The spectators who had gathered long hours cheered when the statues were published into the truck and were expelled.
The statue that respects the leaders of the pro-slavery confederation in the American Civil War has become the focus of protest against racism in recent years.
The elimination of Lee Statue planned by College Town in 2017 pushed the rally by deadly white skin supremacy when a car was pushed into a crowd by the Neo-Nazi which was described itself killed Heather Heather Counter-Protester, 32 years.
A few weeks later Charlottesville city council in a round voice ordered the Jackson statue to be removed.
Residents including the Virginia Division of the Confederated veteran sons demanded Charlottesville for the elimination plan.
In April, the highest court of Virginia decided that the city could eliminate the two statues of the Confederations, reversing the decision of the state circuit court that has upheld the lawsuit of citizens.
Charlottesville will keep statues in storage until making a final decision about what to do with them, officials said in a statement on Friday.
The city installed a protective fence and appointed a zone without parking around the park to anticipate the transfer of Saturday, the statement said.
Asked whether the city was aware of the planned protest, Brian City spokesman Wheeler said, “The indication of how we feel about this is, we invite the public to join us in the park.” “We think many members of our community really want to be there to see this happen.”
