The commonwealth removed the last state-owned Confederate monuments from Capitol Square in Richmond on Friday. Crews from the Department of General Services took down three statues — Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, Gov. William “Extra Billy” Smith and Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire — that had been installed in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The state has gifted the statues to the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation. Our award-winning work is made possible with your support.
