If a court clears the way, the state of Virginia will not just remove a soaring statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from the city of Richmond’s famed Monument Avenue. It will also excavate a little-known piece of history: a 134-year-old time capsule.

Just because it is not the history we want, it is still history. Stop destroying it.

Won't change a thing. Just more foolishness from low IQ people.

It would be nice if the statue could be removed in a peaceful orderly way and the time capsule could be recovered as opposed to the 'preferred' method of slash, burn, and destroy with extreme violence.

What a beautiful statue. Also, this man towers above all “men” of today.

Great man. A true American.

These Confederate statues are an embarrassment

Leftists taking America down the drain one state at a time.........

Time to give history a history lesson that wasn't written and condoned by slave owners.

Why would they leave a time capsule if they didn't want it to be opened? Confederates should be celebrating this opportunity to visit this firsthand information about their forefathers!

My prediction: everything in the time capsule will be racist.

Virginia hopes to remove time capsule along with Lee statueRICHMOND, Va. (AP) — If a court clears the way, the state of Virginia expects to remove not just a soaring statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from Richmond’s historic Monument Avenue but also a little-known piece of history tucked inside the massive sculpture’s base: a 134-year-old time capsule. Why? Having a monument to someone who led a rebellion against our government is just...twisted. A racist time capsule. If it’s opened, unimaginable clouds of racism will be unleashed upon the city.

West Point apologizes for saying Robert E. Lee announced end of slaveryThe West Point Association of Graduates tweeted that Robert E. Lee had assisted Union General Gordon Granger in proclaiming slaves had been freed following the end of the Civil War. It's time to bring an end to the perpetuation of inequities perpetrated by white Americans against all other Americans. Almost all our societal ills are directly caused by the lily white gov't policies, cultural biases, white privilege & fragility used to marginalize all others. White Americans can no longer avoid 'the talk,' too. Our U.S. history is littered & documented with acts of violence perpetrated by White Americans against all other Americans. The time for atonement for the sins of our fathers, this generational curse, has come due. No denying. The truth doesn't matter to certain liberals. The only thing that matters is gen lee was a confederate general.
