A monument dedicated to Confederate soldiers and sailors was removed from Libby Hill Park in Richmond, Virginia, on Wednesday morning, July 8, local reports said. Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney ordered the removal of all city-owned Confederate statues on July 1. Since then, statues of Stonewall Jackson, naval commander Matthew Fontaine Maury, and J.E.B. Stuart have been removed. According to local reports, it took crews about two hours to remove the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors statue, which has stood in the park since 1894.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that a crowd of about 150 people gathered to watch the monument come down. It was placed on a flatbed around 11 am to be transported to a storage facility.
