Of those, 94 were monuments — including a memorial to General Robert E. Lee which had stood at the U.S. Capitol for 111 years. Per The Daily Caller, via the “Whose Heritage” database, the SPLC tracks roughly 2,100 public parks, statues, and buildings dedicated to the Confederacy. Law Center Chief of Staff Lecia Brooks noted the…wait for it… monumental nature of last year: “2020 was a transformative year for the Confederate symbols movement. Over the course of seven months, more symbols of hate were removed from public property than in the preceding four years combined.” A General Lee statue in Virginia — which stood atop a time capsule which may or may not have contained a hair strand from the general’s horse — is particularly notable.
