"Crews working to remove the pedestal where a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee towered over Richmond for more than a century believe they’ve found a time capsule that was buried there in 1887."

Too bad they're removing the pedestal also. Seems like a wonderful place to erect a statue to a real American hero. Say, George Floyd, Jessie Smollett, Al Sharpton maybe even Maxine Waters.
