Autoplay videos. I think they're worth it.
Melted down in secret, the divisive Confederate monument will be turned into a new piece of public art
Depressing disclaimer: "The Washington Post spent a day watching foundry workers cut up parts of Charlottesville’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, including the head and sword, and melt those in a furnace. Post journalists were allowed to join on the condition they did not identify the foundry’s location and state or record the workers’ faces to protect them and the facility."

Thanks for posting this.
NPR had a good piece about this yesterday evening, and it was nice to see the images.

Lee should have been hung. Lincoln was too forgiving. I’m glad neither Trump nor Biden has pardoned the 1/6 insurrectionists.

I think Insurrectionist Donnie would pardon them if he ever gets the chance.

The interesting question is are they going to let it be known which art installation will be cast from the reclaimed metal? That would make it a target for nutjob vandals.
