Marxists on Parade: The Removal of Robert E. Lee

In 2017, Charlottesville Virginia City Council voted 3-2 to obscure the Robert E. Lee statue from view. What followed were years of court cases, permanent injunctions, hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars spent, and media lies. In July 2023, a judge held that the century old statute of this Confederate General can be melted down into tiny ingots for public consumption and destruction by the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center. Learn more about the groups that are fighting back against such reckless hate.
