The state capital, once the capital of the Confederacy, is reckoning with its legacy of slavery and Jim Crow-era racism: The mansion-lined Monument Avenue is now devoid of Confederate statues, and just recently, on a busy intersection two miles away, the last remaining city-owned statue of a Confederate officer, Ambrose P. Hill, was brought down."
