The church that George Washington attended, in Alexandria, removed the plaque that designated his (paid for, at the time) family pew.

No, that plaque must come down!!
...The fate of the two plaques, which have hung on either side of the altar at the historic church since 1870, had been talked about for years, according to the Rev. Noelle York-Simmons, the church’s rector. But the matter took on added urgency following events in Charlottesville....
Upon his death all his slaves were freed. Put the signs back up.
