Earlier this morning, the statue of traitor Robert E. Lee was removed from a park in Charlottesville, VA. A statue of fellow traitor Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was also removed in Charlottesville today. Both statues will be put into "storage." The original plan for removal was the cause of the white nationalist/ Nazi riot in August 2017 that resulted in the death of anti- racism protester Heather Heyer. Good riddance to those pigeon toilets:

It was erected in the 1920s, on land stolen from Black owners seven years earlier.
