A statue of Confederate General Albert Pike, which was overturned in 2020 during the "Black Lives Matter" protests after George Floyd's murder, will be reinstalled in Washington, the National Park Service said on Monday.

Albert Pike was a Confederate general and diplomat who negotiated alliances with slave-owning Native American tribes during the Civil War.

Albert Pike was the only Confederate leader memorialized with an outdoor statue in Washington until it was toppled in the protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd, which sparked a nationwide reckoning with racism and calls for the removal of monuments to the Confederacy.
