From Wikipedia.
I was looking up more information on the Thomas Jefferson monument at the University of Virginia. I couldn't find any particulars about it, but did come across article after article on the attacks made on the statue by students and BLMers.
Here's what Wikipedia said about it. Although I have put in the words hate crime each time Wikipedia called it vandalizing.
AUGUST 2017: The statue was the target of graffiti hate crimes.
SEPTEMBER 2017: The statue was again the target of protest during the Charlottesville historic monument controversy and the recent Unite the Right rally. The statue was covered in black wrapping like the city had done to the Lee and Jackson statues.
University president Teresa A. Sullivan later called for civil discourse.
FRIDAY 13, APRIL 2018: Someone committed a hate crime on the statue with the words "racist" and "rapist." This was on the school's Founder's Day, tp celebrate Thomas Jefferson's birthday.
