The US has set a record for confederate cleansing in 2020 as 168 monuments and symbols honoring the confederate leaders, according to a new report by the Southern Poverty Law Center on Tuesday.

Nearly all of those monuments were taken down in the seven months following the death of George Floyd. The anti-racial injustice protests were so high last year that, the monuments taken down in the year 2020 exceed the confederate monuments taken down in the four previous years to it combined.

The capital of the confederacy, Virginia led the way in searching for a way out from the confederacy. Virginia alone took down 71 monuments followed by North Carolina’s 24.

The SPLC says it knows more than 2,100 symbols of confederacy still standing.

The SPLC gas called 2020 a “transformative year” in the fight against confederacy and racial injustice.
