At 4 am on Monday, in the crypt of the United States Capitol, a team of workers removed the statue of Robert E. Lee that since 1909 has represented the Commonwealth of Virginia in the National Statuary Hall Collection.

They took down “Marse Robert” from the National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol. Even though it’d been there for over 100 years, the statue of Confederate general Robert E.

Jennifer Wexton, and a representative from VA Gov. Ralph Northam’s office.
On the opposite side of the country, in California, Nancy Pelosi cheered the removal of the Lee statue in a statement: ....

Ralph Northam, Virginia gov.: Robert E. Lee statue removed from U.S. Capitol

“We must start telling our complete history and remove these monuments that venerate individuals who fought to maintain slavery in this country,” tweeted Mr. Herring, a Democrat.
Sculptor Edward Valentine gifted the statue to the collection in 1909 as a commemoration of the general who commanded the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia from 1862 until he surrendered in 1865, according to the Architect of the Capitol website.
Mr. Northam, a Democrat, established the Commission for Historical Statues in the U.S. Capitol earlier this year to look into the removal and replacement of the monument.
The commission was created following a wave of Confederate statue removals nationwide sparked by protests over racism and police brutality after George Floyd’s death in police custody in Minneapolis in May. ....
