RICHMOND, VA: "The Jefferson Davis statue that once towered over Monument Avenue is now on display at The Valentine Museum in Richmond. On June 10, 2020, protestors tied a rope around the Confederate statue and pulled it from atop its pedestal. For two years, the structure has been under a tarp in storage. On Wednesday, curators at the Valentine unveiled the statue to the public as part of The Valentine’s core exhibit, “This Is Richmond, Virginia.”
In the exhibit, the 8-foot structure is lying on its side, still splattered with pink latex paint. Jefferson’s face is still spray-painted black, and there are remnants of tissue where protestors made a noose. After protestors pulled it down, it was donated to the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia by the City of Richmond. The Valentine will temporarily house the statue for six months. To give all members of the Richmond community an opportunity to participate in the exhibit, the Valentine will offer free admission every Wednesday as long as the statute is on display."
