The city of Richmond, Va., took down its last city-owned Confederate monument, one of a dozen controversial monuments that were removed from the city amid racial justice protests after George Floyd’s killing in 2020.
Workers begin to put the bronze statue of Confederate Gen. A.P. Hill onto a flatbed truck in Richmond, Va.
The monument was erected in 1892 with the general, who was killed in 1865 during the final days of the Civil War, buried under the statue. The monument was centered at the busy intersection of Laburnum Avenue and Hermitage Road in the city’s Northside neighborhood. City leaders have asked for the monument to be placed in the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia, along with 11 other Confederate monuments that had been erected after the Civil War in Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy. The controversial monuments, including one of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, were removed amid racial justice protests after George Floyd’s killing in 2020.
