Jim Carrey marked Juneteenth by sending a statue of Robert E. Lee to the bottom of the ocean.
Of the Confederate general, Carrey wrote: “Here’s to finding a more appropriate place for Robert E. Lee.”
Earlier this month, a statue of British slave trader Edward Colston did actually temporarily end up in a river in Bristol, England.
Its toppling and tossing into the River Avon during a Black Lives Matter protest inspired the street artist Banksy to come up with a suggestion for its replacement.
