Yeah, we are seeing it primarily in the larger and/or more liberal areas. Charlottesville has a statue of Lee and a statue of Jackson in two parks. The statues were gifted by the same people that gifted the land for the parks. There is currently an effort to removed those statues. My wife is from Charlottesville. It's been interesting.
There is also some movement in and around Richmond with regards to this. It's all a small minority, but they are vocal, as they usually are, and they are using things like what happened in Charleston to garner support and essentially attempt to guilt people into their side.
