09/22/23 – Why is a statue of Stonewall Jackson still on Capitol Square?

Published 2 years, 11 months ago
Description

Curious Commonwealth recently received this question from an area resident: “Why, after all monuments to the Confederacy and Confederate leaders have been removed from Monument Ave., and other locations around Richmond, a statue of Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson remains on Capitol Square? This after the monument to former governor and segregationist Harry Byrd has been removed from same public square.”

So, why is it still there?
