FILE - In this Sept. 16, 2017 file photo, State Police keep a handful of Confederate protesters separated from counter demonstrators in front of the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee on Monument Avenue in Richmond, Va. President Donald Trump on Friday, April 26, 2019 revived the debate over the legacy of Gen. Robert E. Lee when he described the Confederate military leader as &quot;a great general, everybody knows that.&quot; The comments prompted backlash given Lee’s role in leading the Confederate Army during the Civil War and his symbolism in current American race relations amid the fallout over 2017 racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, during protests over a Lee statue.
