I said I would post this in different places out of respect so I kept My word .
My younger brother is named after Lee, Robert E. Lee <last name> My dads and his family is from old Virginia and and his kin of the era of the Civil War fought for the Confederacy. Good picture!

Reminder that his statue got removed.

Then I see this. So I did a Brave search.
Yeah, I'm pissed that they are trying to erase our history.
The statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia, will be melted down into bronze ingots to create new public art.012 The Jefferson School American Heritage Center, a local Black-led nonprofit, will select an artist for the project titled "Swords Into Plowshares" by 2024 and have it completed by 2027. The statue was removed from its pedestal in July 2021, along with two other statues in the city - one of fellow Confederate Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson and another of explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark alongside their Native American guide Sacagawea.2 The city council decided to donate the statue to the center, which received six proposals from entities interested in taking one or both of them.1
