Virginians waiting for the state-owned Robert E. Lee monument to come down will have to wait a while longer.
Thursday morning, a Richmond judge extended an injunction barring the state from removing the statue.
In recent weeks demonstrators in Richmond have pulled down three, much smaller, Confederate monuments.
It stands on Monument Avenue, alongside several other large Confederate monuments.
In a statement, the Monument Avenue Preservation Society writes "for too long, we have overlooked the inherent racism of these monuments, and for too long we have allowed the grandeur of the architecture to blind us to the insult of glorifying men for their roles in fighting to perpetuate the inhumanity of slavery."
