A Virginia judge has temporarily blocked an attempt to remove a monument honoring Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Richmond
Judge William R. Marchant of the Richmond Circuit Court prevented an effort to pull down the statue for 90 days while a lawsuit over whether doing so would violate a 19th century agreement is litigated. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs say removing the monument would violate a 1890 deed, in which Virginia, having been transferred the land on which the statue sits, agreed to"faithfully guard and affectionately protect it.
Read MoreMonday's decision is the latest in an ongoing fight over the monument's removal since Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced in June that the monument would come down"immediately" and be moved into storage as they"work with the community to determine its future." It also comes amid ongoing protests against racism and police brutality in the aftermath of George Floyd's death.
