This monument of J.E.B. Stuart, by Frederick Moynihan, was unveiled in 1907 during a Confederate reunion attended by thousands of veterans of the Civil War in Richmond, Virginia. Built on Monument Avenue, the memorial to the Confederate General depicts him on his horse during a dramatic moment.
There had been some opposition to the statues along Monument Avenue in Richmond since their installation because of their celebration of the Confederacy. In 2020, the J.E.B. Stuart Monument was vandalized during protests against police brutality and racism in policing. It was removed by City of Richmond on July 7, 2020.
These photos and descriptions are part of materials from the registration of Monument Avenue Historic District in Richmond, Virginia as a National Historic Landmark in the National Register of Historic Places.
