Charlottesville Removes Confederate Statue Near the Site of Deadly 2017 Rally

The city of Charlottesville, Virginia, has started taking down a Confederate statue that stood near the site of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017.

Albemarle County, where Charlotteville is located, is livestreaming the statue’s removal for community members on social media.

“Livestream viewers will have a direct sightline of the removal work, with live commentary sharing the history of Court Square, the memorials, and their installation,” an announcement from the county said. “During more routine work periods, recorded interviews and lectures by local historians, design professionals, elected officials, and community members will be aired in split-screen with the live-feed.”
