CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The Charlottesville City Council in Virginia has voted to remove a second Confederate monument from a public park.

"We're not white supremacists," says the man who owns the land. "As a matter of fact, we have members in our organization who are black."More than 500 people showed up for the unveiling of a small monument to "Unknown Alabama Confederate Soldiers" at Confederate Veterans Memorial Park, on private land in the town of Brantley, in Crenshaw County about 30 miles north of the Florida line.

Local news outlets report the council's vote Tuesday night on the statue of Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was unanimous. It comes weeks after a white nationalist rally in the city descended into violence.

The rally was sparked in part by the city's decision earlier this year to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

The council had initially planned to leave the Jackson statue in place but reconsidered in light of the violence.

Both statues will remain for now while a lawsuit over their removal plays out. The city has draped them both with black tarps as a symbol of mourning for Heather Heyer, the woman killed at the rally.
