The Charlottesville City Council voted in 2021 to donate the statue to the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, after it proposed a Swords into Plowshares project that would melt the statue and repurpose it into “public art that expresses the City’s values of inclusivity and racial justice,” according to the proposal submitted to the city.
