A judge ruled on Feb. 27 that tarps covering statues of Confederate officers in two Charlottesville, Virginia, parks have to be removed within 15 days of a court order being signed.
The statues, of Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, were covered with black plastic sheeting to signify that the town was in mourning for the death of one demonstrator and two state troopers who died in separate but related incidents on August 12, 2017, NBC reported.
