Protesters in Richmond, Virginia toppled the statue of Confederate General Williams Carter Wickham on Saturday night. The statue had been standing since 1891.

Williams Carter Wickham, which stands near a crosswalk leading to Virginia Commonwealth University’s main campus, was pulled from its base and tumbled to the ground around 10:45 p.m. The statue’s base was also tagged with graffiti similarly to the Confederate statues on nearby Monument Avenue.”
