NPR's Ari Shapiro talks with Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney about his resolution to remove city-owned Confederate monuments immediately.
And at a city council meeting today, Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney said he wants city-owned Confederate monuments removed immediately.
And we have to focus on those Black and brown residents who've lived in this city and who have lived in the shadow of these monuments, right?
SHAPIRO: What's it like to be in a place where you are instrumental in the removal of these statues and monuments that have loomed over the city and loomed over your own life for so many years?
SHAPIRO: That is Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, a Democrat.
