The city of Richmond, Virginia, may be saying goodbye to its last-standing Confederate statue, a Virginia circuit court said Tuesday, ruling in favor of the city in a lawsuit over whether Richmond was allowed to remove the monument and the remains of the general buried beneath it.
The 130-year-old monument, which currently stands in the center of the Laburnum Avenue and Hermitage Road intersection, depicts Confederate General A.P. Hill, who was killed during the Third Battle of Petersburg in 1865. Hill's remains are buried beneath the statue.
