Workers begin to lay the bronze statue of Confederate General A.P. Hill onto a flatbed truck on Monday December 12, 2022 in Richmond, Va. The city of Richmond – the capital of the Confederacy for most of the Civil War – removed the statue, its last city-owned Confederate statue Monday, more than two years after it began to purge itself of what many saw as painful symbols of racial oppression.
