Virginia Supreme Court rules Robert E. Lee statue can be removed from state capital
Fox News
The Virginia Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that an iconic statue of Robert E. Lee could be removed from Monument Avenue in Richmond.
The plaintiffs, including a descendant of one of the signatories of an 1890 deed that transferred the statue to the state, argued that in the deed (and another from 1887) the state agreed to "faithfully guard" and "affectionately protect" the statue forever. They also argued Northam is bound by an 1889 joint resolution of the Virginia General Assembly that accepted the statue and agreed to maintain the monument to Lee. Plaintiffs' attorneys told the justices during a June 8 hearing that the governor exceeded his authority under Virginia's Constitution. Attorney General Mark Herring’s office countered that a small group of private citizens cannot force the state to maintain a monument that no longer reflects its values.
