ALLISON WRABEL The (Charlottesville) Daily Progress The statue of George Rogers Clark is removed from its base on Sunday, July 11, 2021, at the University of Virginia. ALLISON WRABEL | (434) 978-7261 The removal of the George Rogers Clark statue at the University of Virginia on Sunday was for some a symbolic first step toward repairing the harm the monument represented over the course of its 100-year history. Workers strapped and adjusted the statue for about two hours before it was removed from its base, loaded onto a flatbed truck and taken to an undisclosed location. Erected in 1921, the statue depicts Clark on a horse, attacking a Native American family while backed by three frontiersmen wielding rifle, pistol and powder. It was paid for by Paul Goodloe McIntire, who also commissioned the three statues that were removed by the city of Charlottesville on Saturday — those of Confederate Gens. Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jacks

Charlottesville to remove its Confederate statues Saturday

Katherine Knott The (Charlottesville) Daily Progress CHARLOTTESVILLE — Charlottesville s Confederate statues will come down Saturday morning, a historic moment that city officials shrouded in secrecy all week. A company contracted to install temporary fencing began its work Friday morning, hours before the city announced early Friday afternoon that the statues of Confederate Gens. Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson would come down Saturday. City workers also had begun to cut shrubbery and trees to allow for the removal, but city leaders had remained mum on plans for the removal of the controversial statues. City officials did not answer questions about why the move was hushed and rushed.
