The Charlottesville Black History Museum has decided the best way to handle America’s history is to destroy it.
The Washington Post reported Thursday that the museum secretly made the choice to melt the historic Robert E. Lee statue, which was the subject of the white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally six years ago.
As the Post notes, groups with ties to and dedicated to defending the Confederacy had sued to stop the monument from being taken down. Most recently, they sought to stop Charlottesville from handing Lee over to the Black history museum, which proposed a plan to repurpose the metal.
The plaintiffs’ lawsuit recommended that the monument should remain intact or be turned into Civil War-style cannons.
