These folks have been very busy with their Confederadication, indeed.
And, the VCU board voted to name an unfinished art building on campus after Murry DiPillars, a former VCU art dean who died in 2008. He is also a black man.
The city of Richmond has already taken down two memorials in Monroe Park that VCU wanted removed. This summer, city workers took down the statue of Joseph Bryan, a Richmond businessman who was a member of Mosby's Rangers during the Civil War and whose statue was constructed in 1911.
They also took down a stone cross dedicated to Fitzhugh Lee, a Confederate general during the war who later served a s governor of Virginia.
The committee had also recommended the removal of a statue honoring Confederate General Williams Carter Wickham, which had stood since 1891, until it was pulled down by BLMers this past summer.
Where the artifacts will go has not been determined as of yet.
