Arthur Ashe Statue by ATXtraveler
One of the interesting social commentaries surrounding Richmond is the addition of Arthur Ashe, to the street of Confederate War heroes on Monument Avenue. Arthur Ashe seemed to be tied to Richmond only by birth, leaving almost immediately in his life to St. Louis and then on to Los Angeles, yet Richmond still raises his profile so highly, that they honored him by being the first person to lay in state after his death in the Governor's Mansion... an honor last bestowed on General Stonewall Jackson.If you are interested in viewing this particular statue, it is located on Monument Avenue in Richmond.
