The Culture War Comes to the Old Dominion
https://i.imgur.com/mRGVi0F.jpg
First-term Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton, from the D.C. suburbs, has denounced Virginia's representation in the U.S. Capitol by statues of George Washington in the Rotunda and Robert E. Lee in the crypt a floor below. Both statues have represented Virginia for more than a century.
Wexton wants Lee replaced by an African American hero from a list that she and Rep. A. Donald McEachin (right) reportedly submitted.
Two names on their list are unfamiliar figures from the desegregation days of the 1950s. The third is better known: Nat Turner.
In August 1831, Nat Turner, paranoid slave preacher and cunjer man, led his superstition-fuddled followers to kill fifty-five whites of all sexes and ages in an aimless terrorizing of Southhampton County in the southeastern corner of Virginia.
