Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, is a historic boulevard known for its grand, tree-lined streets and historic monuments. Originally developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the avenue was famous for its statues commemorating Confederate leaders such as Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Stonewall Jackson. In recent years, many of these statues have been removed due to their controversial nature, sparking significant public debate and reflecting broader conversations about history, memory, and social justice in the United States.
