Monument Avenue, in Richmond, Virginia, is a premier example of the Grand American Avenue city planning style. 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. A tree-lined grassy mall divides the east and west-bound sides of the street and is punctuated by statues memorializing Virginian Confederate participants of the Civil War J.E.B. Stuart, Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, and two additional Richmond natives "Father of the Seas" Matthew Fontaine Maury, and Arthur Ashe, an international tennis star.
RIP Monument Avenue.
I would have visited Richmond just for the monuments but not now.
heroes can be hidden but never forgotten God bless dixie and its heroes
I'm afraid to watch this, but hope the monuments are still there!
I lived at Monument and Sheppard back in the 70's, used to walk by those statues about every day. Alas, nothin lasts forever.
Well done, very enjoyable.
Great video that has historical value now. Monument Avenue was one of the top tourist destinations in the south and so beautiful before the Talibanesque destructive mobs attacked. I've found that those who attacked and tore them down know nothing about the honorable men depicted in those world-famous artistic monuments.
Looks real different now.
Considerin what Monument Avenue looks like today, one wonders, where is the outrage?
Thanks to Stoney and the "Black" Face Governor for ruining this State
I was born at Stuart Circle Hospital.
God bless Robert E Lee
AMEN!
🏍️ Amen. The Greatest Virginian.
Will be relocating to va beach very soon. Revision suks
Lived in Richmond in the early '80s. Always thought it odd that Monument Ave had so many statues to confederates, and none to great Americans.
Jeff Martens; It isn't odd when you know that the monuments were erected over a hundred years ago by people who lived in a city that had been forced to eat shit by Northern forces who the residents of Richmond considered to be heartless and destructive invaders. They were still smarting from the humiliation when the monuments were erected as a tribute to men who they considered to be heroes for attempting to defend their homeland. I kind of think you probably already know all of that unless you're twelve years old.
Save Monument Ave! Fight commies and globalists!
Amen!
i pray and hope that mayor goes to federal prison for breaking the law for illegally taking down those priceless relics of southern history. hes evil!

@@wandajones717 Wanda, you’re trippin. The confederates were treasonous.
Monument Avenue will never be the same when those Confederate Statues come down. Richmond Va will be worthless. There's nothing you could put in place of that .
They won't come down.
Who cares their still a horrible memory of a past that most Americans would love to somehow erase from our history.
Their coming down. Believe when I tell you, yes my friend they are coming down
Ramiro Diaz It’s a past people don’t want to remember but never lived it. There’s something wrong with that picture.
Ramiro Diaz The statues are coming down because of spite nothing else . People of today didn’t live it and they don’t even feel it. I don’t know my Grandfathers pain and I don’t feel their pain. It’s spite!
Youve missed the pimps and hoes annual parade....a proud Richmond event
Now virginia has nothing.
Very sad as a child visiting Monument ave. In my mother's hometown of Richmond VA I thought it was a really neat place. I only now am learning what these statues have stood for since they are now being pulled down
These men we built statues of probably never wasted a minute of their lives worrying about slavery.
The slaves were free when they were built so there was nothing to worry about. Also, not every Confederate statue in this country will be coming down.
@@johnharris8191 🛵 They were free when.... what does any of that have to do with my comment ?
@@mikethebike2456 Nobody living in the U.S. now never was a slave or knew a slave. You talk of worrying about the past no one can change and no one living in this country now does not owe anyone anything for something other people did 150 years ago. Time to stop whining and move on.
@@johnharris8191 🛵 Can't argue with any of that.
Monument Ave looks fantastic in October 2021.
All gone now,Richmond is just another hell hole
Too bad these artistic statues were removed to appease under-educated types.
Thats are our History?
Soon coming to Richmond. Statutes Harriet Tubman Frederick Douglas Washington Carver Obama Sammy Davis Jr.
and Denzel Washington😮 8:23 😮
GOD BLESS DIXIE!
Who tf is that
Richmond has no character now.No reason to visit it keep driving.
they will replace with pimps and drug dealers
Wow! Here we are at a crossroads where black citizens are demanding the removal of the statues on Monument Avenue because they celebrate men who fought to maintain slavery in the south. And here on UA-cam is a black man who is using these same statues to advertise his real estate business. Interesting choice there Marcus.
They were not fighting for slavery
They were fighting cuz the South was invaded by Lincoln's army.
@@littlecrow6484 Idiots who don't read or know history try to make it up as they go.
My family lived in Richmond since before the Civil War and some ancestors fought for the south. I have muskets, pistols, shells, flags and other paraphrenalia that my brother and I played with around my grandmother's house every time we visited from Florida. The monuments, however, were errected after the end of Reconstruction as a way for white southerners to hold sway over emancipated slaves who suddenly found themselves without the bulwark of the federal government to enforce their rights. All of these monuments are imposing generals in full battle gear astride monstrous horses astride large pedastals adding to the height and granduer if not the terror that these monuments were designed to instill in the colored folk as if to say, "See, The south Will Rise Again, Y'all." That many of them are in roundabouts with gothic churches on all sides is designed to add God's imprimatur. All of it, fashioned after 1st Century Roman statuary that reminded Roman citizens and client states, of the primacy of the Roman emperor Augustus, the first emperor to call himself, Son of God. I loved these monuments as a child visiting my grandmother on Augusta Avenue. Until, I learned the history of slavery and the terror and horrors inflicted on an entire race of people who never asked to come here and were left without a heritage of their own. Until these monuments come down, the South will never truly rise again. And I will lament and mourn my true southern heritage.
My mother was born and raised in Richmond Va I still have family there. I visited throughout my entire life. As a child I always loved going to monument avenue and I have never known what the statues stand for they were just neat to me as a child. Now that all the protest are going on and statues being torn down I am only now learning why they were put up in the first place. Thank you for sharing the info you have
They are beautiful Monuments and now it's ruined. Commies like you are un American
@@lashawnablanton4649 it's a lie. That's not the truth.
save the Arthur Ashe statue for the last one to see. impressive, progressive States Rights forever !
Mike Brodie Author Ashe did nothing but hit a tennis ball, and is undeserving of sharing this beautiful avenue with 'Great men'.
lol, are you trolling?
And the insignificant idiot has something meaningless to say...
Take it down too.
NO statue should be on public property.
