Statue of Williams Carter Wickham, Bronze statue in Monroe Park, Richmond, United States
The bronze sculpture depicted Williams Carter Wickham in Confederate uniform holding field glasses and gloves, mounted on a granite base measuring 10 feet tall.
The monument, created by Edward Valentine in 1891, was funded by employees of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and fellow soldiers to honor their former leader.
The statue represented changing perspectives on Confederate monuments, as two descendants requested its removal in 2017 due to its connection with slavery.
Located near Virginia Commonwealth University campus, the statue remained in Monroe Park for 129 years until its removal during the social movements of 2020.
The monument's base contained inscriptions describing Wickham as soldier, statesman, patriot, and friend, with precise dates of his birth and death.
