Crews took down a statue of Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart on Tuesday, making the 15-foot tall Confederate monument the third to come down in Richmond, Virginia, since Democratic Mayor Levar Stoney ordered them removed last week.
According to The Associated Press, crowds cheering “Black Lives Matter!” surrounded the statue as a crane lifted it from its 7-foot pedestal, which had been heavily graffitied during recent protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
