Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Matthew Fontaine Maury Monument, was a memorial installed along Richmond, Virginia's Monument Avenue depicting Matthew Fontaine Maury and commemorating his Confederate naval service and contributions to oceanography and naval meteorology. It featured the engraved moniker "Pathfinder of the Seas". In July 2020, the bronze statue of Maury and other sculptural elements were removed from the monument by the city of Richmond, in response to local protests connected to nationwide unrest sparked by the murder of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis; the rest of the monument was removed in February 2022.
