In Richmond, Virginia state officials searched for the 134-year-old time capsule that was believed to be buried at the pedestal of the Robert E. Lee statue.
The statue was removed after the yearlong order from Governor Ralph Northam. The order was placed after protests over racism and police brutality erupted across the country in the summer of 2020.
The removal of the 1887 time capsule was scheduled to be removed on the same day. After removing the statue and many heavy stones the state officials were not able to find it.
The crew worked and searched throughout the entire workday. The results left them disappointed with a small possibility for a continuation of the search.
