Horns honking, flag waving in Richmond at Lee Circle after Chauvin s guilty verdicts
RICHMOND âThe Virginia Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday in two cases aimed at barring the removal of Richmondâs Robert E. Lee monument, the last Confederate memorial remaining on Monument Avenue in the wake of George Floydâs death.
Last June, Gov. Ralph Northam ordered the monument moved from state property at North Allen and Monument avenues. The General Assembly appropriated money to do so and in a budget amendment repealed the 1889 law that accepted the deed for the land and agreed to protect the monument in perpetuity.
The prosecutor considering criminal charges in a traffic stop where two officers allegedly mistreated a Black Army lieutenant said he has received the results.
