This Statue of Williams Carter Wickham by Edward Valeninte was unveiled in Richmond, Virginia in 1891.
The bronze statue depicts William Carter Wichkham in his Confederate uniform standing on a grey granite pedestal. Inscribed on the base is “Wickham. Soldier, Statesman, Patriot, Friend. Presented to the City of Richmond by Comrades in the Confederate Army and Employees of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company.”
In June 2020, during a series of national protests against police brutality and racism in policing, the statue was toppled by protesters.
