monument

The statue of a Confederate soldier that stood in downtown Winston-Salem for more than a century has a new home 40 miles south of the city following protests, dismantling and a lengthy storage period.

A statue of the woman, whose cells were taken without her consent and became integral in several major medical breakthroughs, will be built in Roanoke, Va.

Ernest Robison's son, Matthew, never walked or jumped. But after the boy's death, Robison said, "I got the idea that he would just be able to rise physically from his wheelchair and go up to heaven."

Protesters in North Carolina's capital pulled down parts of a Confederate monument Friday night and hanged one of the toppled statues from a light post.

The city of Winston-Salem is preparing for gatherings surrounding the fate of a Confederate statue downtown this weekend.

The protester who climbed a North Carolina Confederate statue to help topple it said Tuesday that she plans to fight rioting and property damage charges by seeing the case through to trial.
