On Thursday, Gov. Ralph Northam (D- VA) detailed a proposal that would give local communities power to control the fate of their Confederate War memorials.
Currently, there is a statewide prohibition against removing them.
Another bill would authorize the Commission for Historical Statues in the US Capitol to remove the Robert E. Lee statue in the National Statuary Hall Collection.
The Governor did not have any immediate recommendations for which statue should replace it. Instead, he suggested that it should be determined by a commission.
