Haziran 2020’de Virginia, Richmond’daki Black Lives Matter protestolar\u0131 s\u0131ras\u0131nda, aktivistler Valentine’in Konfederasyon Ba\u015fkan\u0131 Jefferson Davis heykelini y\u0131kt\u0131lar ve tahrif ettiler. 1907’den beri Richmond’s Monument Avenue’da bulunan heykel, siyah ve pembe boya s\u0131\u00e7rat\u0131larak \u00f6zellikleri neredeyse tan\u0131nmaz hale getirildi.<\/p>\n\n
Valentine’in karde\u015fi taraf\u0131ndan kurulan Valentine M\u00fczesi, Richmond \u015fehrine, hasarl\u0131 Davis heykelini sanat\u00e7\u0131n\u0131n st\u00fcdyosunda sergilemesine izin vermesi i\u00e7in dilek\u00e7e verdi.

Valentine M\u00fczesi’nin Davis heykelini sergileme plan\u0131, m\u00fczelerin Konfederasyon an\u0131tlar\u0131n\u0131 sunmadaki rollerini yeniden d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnen daha geni\u015f bir e\u011filimin par\u00e7as\u0131d\u0131r.
