Katherine Ridgway, state archaeological conservator, prepares to wrap and remove a box believed to be the 1887 time capsule that was put under Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee statue's pedestal Monday, Dec. 27, 2021, in Richmond, Va. In back, Everett Mercer, 10, son of Governor Ralph Northam's chief staff Clark Mercer, stands by to help. Crews wrapping up the removal Monday of the giant pedestal that once held a statue of Gen. Lee found what appeared to be a second and long-sought-after time capsule, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said.
