VIDEO: Charlottesville Takes Down Lewis, Clark, and Sacagawea Statue

Amy Furr 11 Jul 2021

The city’s remaining contested statue was torn from its pedestal Saturday once Charlottesville’s City Council voted unanimously to take down the statue of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea.

“The statue of Lewis, Clark and Sacagawea departed the intersection where it has stood since 1919 at around 2:45 p.m. aboard a flatbed truck,” the Daily Progress reported, adding the removal took approximately an hour and a half.

It was transported to Darden Towe Park in Albermarle County, which is where the Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center is located, the article continued:

The council voted to approve a resolution that said the statue shall be removed from its current location on West Main Street and transported to a storage location owned, or co-owned by the city, and authorized the city manager to carry out this relocation. The meeting was announced 20 minutes prior in an email sent to the press holding credentials to cover the removal of the Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson statues in the morning.

Video footage showed bystanders watching as crews removed the historic statue:

VIRGINIA: Republicans Silent As Statues Of Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Lewis & Clark Torn Down In Charlottesville
"They won't stop until it's all gone - unless we stop them."

Virginia Republicans remained silent over the weekend as statues of Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, as well as famed explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, were torn down in Charlottesville following a multi-year effort by the left-wing city council, aided by Democrats in Richmond, that helped kicked off the nationwide removal of statues and monuments deemed too white by the left.

Crews worked Saturday morning in front adoring left-wing crowds of supporters to destroy the monuments to Generals Lee and Jackson, with city officials then calling a snap meeting with almost no notice made to the public to vote on the removal of the famed Lewis and Clark statue. After a unanimous vote by the far-left council, the same crew that tore down Lee and Jackson was immediately re-dispatched to erase more history. The statue also depicted Sacagawea, Lewis and Clark’s female Shoshone Indian guide.

Nothing was torn down or destroyed.  We can oppose ahistorical, racist anti-white hysteria without lying about it.
