It’s been in planning since 2013. And it isn’t “replacing” the Lee statue. Different location entirely.
Wait, whut?
The article says “has been unveiled in the spot where the iconic Robert E. Lee equestrian stood in Richmond”
Is that a lie?
What you say is probably correct in one sense: it’s not replacing the Lee statue. However, isn’t it in a symbolic sense replacing the Lee statue? So soon after they desecrated Lee’s monument by destroying it entirely they put up this tableau? I hope this gets the same treatment as all the other statues of our founding fathers and men of renown.
