The project of recreating the Charlottesville statue of Robert E. Lee that was so cruelly destroyed is coming along. The full-size replica of the statue is physically in existence, but a pedestal is not, and neither is a location.
So, Monuments Across Dixie and the Alamo City Guards SCV Camp are joining forces to raise money for a base for the 14-ft statue.
You might recall that miniature Lee statues were sold to raise money for the creation of the statue, and a new batch of these is currently available to raise money for the pedestal. Monuments Across Dixie posted a reel showing them, here. While the first batch of mini Lee’s was green to resemble oxidation, the second batch is dark gray / black.
You can find more details at the Alamo City Guards’ website here – there are three donation levels which support both the Guards and the Lee statue’s base, with the highest level including a mini statue.
