The statue of Confederate General Robert Lee has been dismantled in Richmond, USA. Human rights activists see the event as a major success in the fight against racial discrimination.
A statue in the Virginia state capital was erected in honor of one of the most famous Confederate Army commanders during the Civil War more than 100 years ago. However, police violence against dark-skinned George Floid and his death sparked widespread anti-racist protests, and members also demanded the removal of monuments to slavery.
Lee led an army of slavery supporters, so people were outraged at the statue. The issue lasted more than a year, but human rights activists won. The statue is divided and delivered for storage until a decision is made on its future fate.
