The city of Charlottesville can take down the statues of two Confederate generals, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The decision overruled a state circuit court decision that had prevented the removal of Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson statues. Both statues were at the center of 2017’s “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, at which white supremacist protesters opposing the statues’ removal clashed with counterprotesters.
