It had been moved to that site from the Courthouse in Rockville, Maryland, in 2017.

@HilaryGreen77 @KevinLevin for your map & records: Confederate General Albert G. Jenkins's monument in Mechanicsburg PA has been removed w/o fanfare; no news stories or announcement that I can find...just gone. Not sure when. Before and after:
On June 29, 2020, the City of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, took a soldier off the Nash County Confederate Monument.
On Jan. 11, 2021, City Council voted to give it to the Sons of Confederate Veterans & United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Racist Confederate statue came down yesterday. Earlier this month, the city council voted 6-1 to take it down. Removing all of the monument is expected to take several days.

AGAIN? The Christopher Columbus statue at Bell Park was defaced last night— it’s the second day in the row this has happened. This time they took the statue’s left hand.

What little information is available on this statue attack suggests that it is likely the first toppling of a monument to George Washington during the George Floyd Uprisings.

Early on June 1, 2020, in Washington, DC, @GWTweets Campus Police discovered the toppled head of George Washington, the Founding Enslaver the University is named after.
They kept it quiet, declining to link the attack to the protests.

@IrisCMiller Update: apparently he was toppled

The South’s Defenders monument has stood since 1915 outside a courthouse in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where local authorities voted 10-4 this month to keep it in place.
Now, the Confederate statue is in pieces on the ground, victim of Hurricane Laura. https://t.co/idoxbGLZSu
