A statue of Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia, will be taken down on Wednesday following 15 months of demands for removal.
Gov. Ralph Northam announced the removal of the statue in a press release on Monday. The governor revealed that he plans to livestream the event and expects a large in-person audience as well. The statue was set up in Richmond in 1890.
