For more than 100 years, two statues representing Virginia have stood at the U.S. Capitol: one of George Washington and another of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
But early Monday, the Lee statue was removed from the National Statuary Hall’s collection. It’s expected to be replaced by a statue honoring civil rights activist Barbara Johns.
“This is a historic and long-overdue moment for our Commonwealth,” U.S. Reps. Donald McEachin and Jennifer Wexton, both Democrats from Virginia, said in a statement. “The Robert E. Lee statue honors a legacy of division, oppression, and racism a dark period in the history of our Commonwealth and our country.” ....

"Proud that Barbara Johns will soon represent Virginia in the U.S. Capitol"

To put it mildly, this represents a massive upgrade from Robert E. Lee, who led a military rebellion against the United States of America, all in the service of “states rights”….the right, that is, to own and exploit/abuse humans as slaves. The only bad news here is that this change from Lee to Johns took so long, but it’s great to see nonetheless! Thanks to Rep. Donald McEachin (D-VA04), Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-VA10), and everyone else involved in making this happen!
P.S. See below for Gov. Northam’s press release.
