Confederate monuments are coming down in Virginia, but 2 prominent Lee statues remain.

Schragger said the Richmond case is particularly complicated because the court is weighing the"enforceability" of the agreement. In the current political climate, in which Confederate monuments are being removed, it's tricky to argue that the promise the state made to landowners should last forever, he said.

"I don't think the injunction is going to last very long. ... I've been dealing with Lee and all these other statues for three years. I don't think they're going to have a legal leg to stand on," Jones said of the plaintiffs."This is just their last-ditch attempts. They'll continue to try, but it's going to come down. It's going to come down."

And now, even with Virginia law having been changed to allow localities to remove or relocate Confederate monuments, Charlottesville's City Council and therefore the Lee statueThe plaintiffs argued that removing the Lee statue in Charlottesville would violate the state law that prevented localities from doing just that. A judge issued a permanent injunction last year, but on Wednesday, the law changed. That leaves the council in limbo.

To judge monuments, think about their meaningStatues designed to reinforce white supremacy should be taken down. Other monuments, erected to memorialize history, as at Gettysburg, deserve to stay. مرسدس...🤣🤣🤣🤣 The LA Times was owned and started by racists. Lets bring it down now. Why is this so difficult. If a person kidnaps my child and put him in chains then to work without pay and worse I don’t want that person venerated. Are their so many who rely on evil for their self esteem.
