While we are disappearing Confederate monuments, lets disappear Arlington Cemetery since Arlington belonged to Robert E. Lee and slaves worked there.

I am waiting for the push to remove the Confederate Monument at Arlington. It is both one of the largest and the only monument that features African Americans.

Arlington was built by Lee’s father in law GW Parke Custis. Lee and his wife inherited Arlington upon Custis’ death in 1857.

Lee’s father in law was the grandson of Martha Washington and the adopted son of George. George and Martha Washington adopted Parke and his sister after the death of Martha’s son John Parke Custis during the Revolution.

It will be. Give them time. As will the Constitution and the Representative form of Government.
