Is it possible to destroy everything of Confederate origin?

27. The flag is a very special case: was re-introduced specifically as racist element by segregatists

in the 50s & 60s. It has no place outside of museums and perhaps designated historical battlefields. Nor do KKK member statues and other most extreme & offensive relics on governmental properties, including public universities, IMO...

That said, I'm a big proponent of history and I shudder at a very few who seemingly are not willing to let the historical record remain--My sigline has long said it all for me (Those who fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it).

For those who want to wipe out even historical remnants of the confederacy, would that include the following in Richmond, VA?

Monument Avenue, in Richmond, Virginia, is a premier example of the Grand American Avenue city planning style. A tree-lined grassy mall divides the east- and westbound sides of the street and is punctuated by statues memorializing Virginian Confederate participants of the Civil War Robert E. Lee, J.E.B. Stuart, Jefferson Davis, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, and Matthew Fontaine Maury, as well as Arthur Ashe, a Richmond native and international tennis star. The first monument, a statue of Robert E. Lee, was erected in 1890. Between 1900 and 1925, Monument Avenue exploded with architecturally significant houses, churches and apartment buildings.

Monument Avenue is the site of several annual events, particularly in the spring, including an annual Monument Avenue 10K race.[4] At various times (such as Robert E. Lee's birthday and Confederate History Month) the Sons of Confederate Veterans gather along Monument Avenue in period military costumes. Monument Avenue is also the site of "Easter on Parade," [5] another spring tradition during which many Richmonders stroll the avenue wearing Easter bonnets and other finery.

"Monument Avenue Historic District" includes the part of Monument Avenue from Birch Street in the east to Roseneath Avenue in the west, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic Landmark District. In 2007, the American Planning Association named Monument Avenue one of the 10 Great Streets in the country.[6] The APA said Monument Avenue was selected for its historic architecture, urban form, quality residential and religious architecture, diversity of land uses, public art and integration of multiple modes of transportation.[7]
