No matter how many unpleasant run-ins they have had with law enforcement, a handful of demonstrators keep coming back to protest around the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia.
The memorial, which resides in the onetime capital of the Confederacy, has been the target of vandalism and the ire of protesters calling for the removal of statues that symbolize oppression. Earlier this week, a Richmond judge extended a hold on the removal of the statue ordered by Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam. The 130-year-old statue will remain in place for the time being. Protesters say they will also continue to return to the statue indefinitely.
