 Two confederte statues are loaded up on a flat bed truck and removed from downtown Raleigh. Friday night, protesters removed two confederate statues from downtown.


Governor Cooper shared a statement on Saturday afternoon explaining his order to remove two Confederate monuments at the State Capitol.

"Monuments to white supremacy don’t belong in places of allegiance, and it’s past time that these painful memorials be moved in a legal, safe way," wrote Cooper.

Crews came out to Capitol Square on Saturday morning to remove the two Confederate monuments — the Women of the Confederacy Monument and a statue of *Henry Lawson Wyatt, the first Confederate soldier to die in the Civil War.
