A tweet from the Governor of Virginia:
"Fort Monroe is where the first enslaved Africans arrived on our shores in 1619. A memorial glorifying the President of the Confederacy has no place here."
Workers in Virginia took Jefferson Davis name down off an arch at Fort Monroe where Davis was held prisoner after the war ended.
ABC TV Affiliate WHSV has the story.
