A lawsuit brought by two organisations seeking to block a museum from melting down the equestrian statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee that was at the centre of the deadly 2017 rally of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, has been largely dismissed.

Sanjay Suchak and Ryan Vizzions both documented the memorial in Richmond, Virginia in 2020..
