 In June 2020, amid widespread George Floyd protests and destruction and removal of other Confederate monuments, the court granted an order allowing the city to remove the monument and place it in storage, and most of the monument was removed later the same month.The monument is made of granite and marble, the figures being of Italian marble, with a 60-foot pillar rising into the sky topped with a Confederate soldier.The letters “CSA” (for Confederate States of America) are engraved on the front of the monument base, above the motto “Confederate” and a dedication stone.
