A historian has offered an alternative as Richmond debates erecting
a statue of Arthur Ashe Jr., the late tennis star. Brian Pohanka
says Civil War hero Powhatan Beaty, shown here with a likeness of
his Congressional Medal of Honor, belongs with Southern heroes on
Monument Avenue. ``Here is a true hero of the Civil War, who also
happens to be black. He also happens to have fought for the North,''
Pohanka says.
