Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson onto a flatbed truck in the dark. “I did what was right for my city,” Pugh said. “Any city that has Con- federate statues has con- cern about violence oc- curring in their city. Social justice activists in Baltimore had pledged to take the statues down themselves on Wednes- day evening.
