Anti-racist demonstrators hold a banner Saturday outside the headquarters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy on Richmond’s Arthur Ashe Boulevard. The two said they are not affiliated with the White Lies Matter group that claimed responsibility for stealing a Confederate chair from a Selma, Ala., cemetery in March and then demanding the UDC post a banner at the Richmond headquarters on April 9, the anniversary of the Confederate surrender at Appomattox, ending the Civil War. The two demonstrators had their own message for the UDC.
