RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Virginia Supreme Court has tossed out an injunction handed down by a Richmond judge that barred officials from removing the only remaining Confederate monument owned by the city.
Richmond Circuit Judge Bradley Cavedo issued a 60-day injunction in July shortly after Mayor Levar Stoney ordered the removal of the city’s Confederate monuments, using authority under a local emergency order, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported Thursday.
Stoney appealed the decision, and the Supreme Court ruled in his favor on Wednesday. The decision could clear the way for the removal of the city-controlled statue of Confederate Gen. A.P. Hill, who is buried at the site.

You’ll never erase our history I don’t care how much you tear down ... we’ll rebuild after the insurrection fails
It's a grave marker, for crying out loud!
So, how many of those have you personally moved. knocked over. or destroyed?
History belongs in books and museums. You don’t see tributes to Hitler or Mussolini across Europe do you?
