This is a few blocks away in what is now named Court Square Park. There is also a large equestrian monument of Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson and I am aware of no schedule for removal.

The focal point of the Unite-The-Right rally was in what is now named Market Street Park which has a large statue of Robert E. Lee and his horse Traveller.

Both the remaining statues are the property of the City and I believe the removals are tied up in legal squabbles. I am confidant that they will eventually be removed.
