A statue of the Confederate naval officer Raphael Semmes was displayed in Mobile, Alabama, since June 1900.[1] It was removed on 5 June 2020 during the George Floyd protests, and was Relocated to the History Museum of Mobile.[2]
The city's mayor, Sandy Stimpson, stated that "Moving this statue will not change the past. It is about removing a potential distraction so we may focus clearly on the future of our city".[3] Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall subsequently threatened to prosecute the city, levying a $25,000 fine for removing the statue, if the removal becomes permanent.[4]
