Richmond, Virginia, Removes Last Public Confederate Monument
------------------------------------------------------------

In Virginia, the city of Richmond removed its last Confederate statue
Monday. The monument was of Confederate General A.P. Hill. Richmond
began removing its Confederate statues amid the massive racial justice
protests that erupted nationwide after the police killing of George
Floyd in May 2020. Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy for most
of the Civil War.
