Mayor Levar Stoney announced plans to remove all city-controlled Confederate statues from Monument Avenue, saying “Richmond is no longer the capital of the Confederacy—it is filled with diversity and love for all—and we need to demonstrate that.” What do you think?

“Richmond is still the capital of Genworth Financial, though, right?”

“It’s nice to see such a quick response to an issue that’s been plaguing Richmond for 130 years.”

“This is a far more effective strategy than asking the statues to leave.”
