Work crews removed a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from its base in a Charlottesville, Virginia, park Saturday morning, marking the summit of a yearslong battle over the fate of Confederate monuments in the city.
A statue of Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was also removed from another city park Saturday. Both statues will be put into storage, and their stone bases will be removed at a later date, the city announced Friday.
