I must admit that I had never heard of George Wythe (but have gotten cheap gas in Wytheville, Virginia often).  Go to Wikipedia and read about him.  A remarkable man even if he did have slaves.

**   Statue of Henrieta Lacks to replace Robert E. Lee.  (Roanoke, Virginia.  She was a black woman who deserves a statue because her cancer cells were taken without her permission and have helped with the fight against the disease.  She deserves a statue, but the Lee one should have remained.)
