A 12-foot-tall bronze statue of tennis great Arthur Ashe is placed
Wednesday on Richmond's Monument Avenue. The statue's placement
follows months of controversy over where to put the monument to
Ashe. The figure, to be officially unveiled July 10, is on a street
dedicated to Confederate icons including Robert E. Lee, Stonewall
Jackson and Jefferson Davis. by CNB
