The 800-pound auction block was the target of George Floyd protesters before it was removed Friday morning
However, the report said “evidence suggests it was not used as a carriage block or built as a platform to showcase objects or enslaved individuals during an auction.”
Rather, “it maybe have been used as a sign post associated with the presentation of data on upcoming auctions and events.” The block and a nearby hotel were associated with “antebellum life and the practice of slavery in Fredericksburg,”Generating support to remove the auction block took time. Following a public forum and online survey, the City Council initially voted to keep the block where it has always been. Frye cast the only vote to move it.
“Stabilizing straps, weights, and mechanical equipment were used to lift the freed stone onto a custom-designed pallet intended to support the approximately 800-pound artifact,” the city said.
