The good people of Charlottesville and Albemarle County are proud to have a statue of Robert E. Lee in the city: a splendid work of art and a tribute to a very honorable man, described by Winston Churchill as "the most noble American ever."
Prominently
positioned in our city, it begs curiosity, thought, and (hopefully)
intelligent communication about our history — who we are and how we all
got here in the first place.
Some
people are uncomfortable with history, and it can be interpreted to
serve different agendas; but a bronze statue is designed to withstand
the test of time, and if it can inspire anyone to learn about our
history, we hope and trust the worst mistakes are not repeated.
