The massive bronze sculpture of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, in uniform, astride his horse Traveller, stood in a downtown Charlottesville park for nearly a century. It was at the center of a deadly white nationalist rally in 2017, when Neo-Nazis and white supremacists tried to stop the city's plans to remove the statue.
It came down to cheers in July of 2021.
[...]
Charlottesville prevailed in a protracted legal battle with the Sons of Confederate Veterans and other groups, and donated the Lee statue to a coalition that proposed to melt it down and create a more inclusive public art installation.
[...]
Lawsuits to stop the project failed, and last weekend organizers moved forward, with great secrecy, to disassemble and melt down the Lee monument.
The work is being done at an out-of-state foundry. NPR agreed not to reveal its location or the identity of the workers because they fear repercussions.
They use a torch to score the head of the statue, in the pattern of a death mask. Lee's face falls to floor with a loud clank.
The symbolism is poignant for Andrea Douglas, executive director of the Jefferson School African American Cultural Center in Charlottesville, which is leading the project.
"The act of myth-making that has occurred around Robert E. Lee, removing his face is emblematic of the kind of removal of that kind of myth," Douglas says.
The project is called Swords into Plowshares, taken from a Bible verse in the book of Isaiah.
[...]
The melting down of the Lee statue will take weeks. It weighed nearly 10,000 pounds. Organizers say the next step will be choosing an artist who will craft the bronze ingots into a new art form to be displayed in Charlottesville.

[fake news] Due to abortion fears, Gov. Abbott orders Texas national guard to deploy razor wire across highways
(hexbear.net)
"Texans will not stand for their tax dollars to aid and abet Satanic medicine," Abbott told reporters on Tuesday.
"Plus I just really like razor wire" he added.
In other news, c/fakenews still seems to be locked for non-mods. We have passive-aggressively reached out to Melina by mentioning it to various non-Melina users, but she could not be reached in this way for comment
"Your voice, your perspective, your experience," replied the Vice President. She continued, "your words, your breath, your opinion." After a brief, awkward silence she went on, "Your analysis. Your education, your mind, your thoughts, your description. Your prose. Your story. Your creativity. Is it hot in here?" the Vice President asked the room.
VP Harris proceeded to drink a full water bottle without pausing and asked her aid for another. Once she had opened and drank most of the next bottle the Vice President asked, "Where was I?"
This marked the end of the VP Harris' scheduled appearance, as students began filing into the room for their regularly scheduled Political Science class.
In response to a comment explaining that neither ship was Chinese:
And this is why China needs to stop being gigantic bullies and jerks in those waters. It leads to tensions where even routine stupid collisions in very crowded waters are instantly assumed to be hostile actions. If this had been a Chinese ship that had been struck, the Chinese would have instantly reacted the same way and they would have started howling for blood before the facts were known. Until China dials down the aggression, this area is a powder keg that they have created and sparks are flying every day. Today's mishap was another spark and everybody is lucky that the shooting didn't start. It's up to the Chinese to stop this and dial back the tension.
edit: wow, the China trolls are out for this comment! Sorry, kids. Have a nice afternoon.
"We legally can't keep out every poor kid, so we need to make sure to hurt any that get through"
Ooh yeah, that's one of the only reasons I ever lose too. Too smart, too strong, too good of a plan. Happens a lot
We have to be careful with the way we speak if we don't want to alienate people. So: Will we deny reparations to black and brown people, or will we deny them to people of color?
I've used ✊ as a certain flavor of "fuck yeah" before
✊🏻 hits wayyy different than that
I’ve seen their brigading on lemmy communities before. They will also serial downvote anything they don’t like.
The important part is that we failed the right way
