Jefferson Davis Memorial

The Jefferson Davis Memorial was a memorial to Jefferson Davis (1808–1889), President of the Confederate States of America from 1861 to 1865, installed along Richmond, Virginia's Monument Avenue, in the United States. The monument was unveiled on Davis' birthday, June 3, 1907, a day celebrated in Virginia and many other Southern states as Confederate Memorial Day.

Davis' statue was toppled by protesters during the George Floyd protests in June 2020. The rest of the monument was taken down in February 2022.
