Confederate Soldiers Monument, Civil War memorial in downtown Durham, United States.
The Confederate Soldiers Monument featured a bronze uniformed soldier standing on a granite base with two lampposts and four decorative cannonballs at its corners.
The monument stood from 1924 until 2017, when protesters pulled it down during demonstrations following events in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The monument sparked discussions about public spaces, historical representation, and social justice movements in contemporary American society.
The damaged statue remains in storage while its base was moved to an undisclosed location by Durham County officials in August 2020.
Local tax revenue funded the construction through a specific provision that allocated one-half of one percent of Durham County taxes.
