Virginia Governor Ralph Northam announced Monday that a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee has been removed from the U.S. Capitol building after representing the state there for 111 years.
We should all be proud of this important step forward for our Commonwealth and our country, Northam said in a statement. The Confederacy is a symbol of Virginia s racist and divisive history, and it is past time we tell our story with images of perseverance, diversity, and inclusion.
