Richmond Is Burning, Again - 2020 - Many downtown businesses were damaged, Confederate monuments were covered in graffiti and the United Daughters of the Confederacy headquarters memorial hall burned during a weekend of outrage.

Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney announced plans to seek the removal of Confederate monuments along Monument Avenue, which include statues of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Confederate Generals Stonewall Jackson and J.E.B. Stuart. Those statues sit on city land, (unlike the Robert E Lee statue,"which is on state property.

Stoney said he would introduce an ordinance
on July 1, 2020 to have the statues removed.

Any Protesters or Demonstrators, black or white that vandalize
or tear down monuments & statues of famous people in history
are utterly disgraceful !

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A small group of demonstrators toppled a statue of a Confederate general in the former capital of the Confederacy late Saturday, following a day of largely peaceful protests in the Virginia city. The statue of Gen. Williams Carter Wickham was pulled from its pedestal in Monroe Park, June 6.

~ Richmond is the capital city of the Commonwealth of Virginia ~

There are now 61,247 cases of the coronavirus in Virginia as of June 27.
as Properties damaged and Unrest Continues in the city of Richmond.

Please be careful traveling in and around (RVA) Richmond Virginia

The time to travel safely will surely be here again,
but till then be careful, stay strong and stay safe.
