Like you just heard -- many people were out watching that removal process.

Waay 31'a will robinson smith is live at the court house for us this morning.

Will what does it look like out at the courthouse right now?

That's right -- towards the beginning of this process around 11:30/midnight there were a handful of people who were opposing the removal of the monument.

One man was holding a sign that read "let us vote on confederate monument."

As you mentioned though -- he was in the minority of folks who came out overnight to witness the historic move.

One pastor with the greater huntsville inter- denominational ministry of fellowship incorporated described today as quote "a day of change."

Sot: mitchell walker, president, greater huntsville inter-denominational ministry of fellowship it's a new day because it represents everything that is antithetical to our christian faith and to that, which we believe should honor us as african- americans in terms of our history, that which has been hurtful and harmful and humiliating to us.

And so, we are really thankful that this is happening.

Butted with william miller, opposed statue removal in doing that, they have broken the law.

They done it, they destroyed the intent of the law.

The intent of the law was not for it to be moved.

But they moved it nevertheless.

Those we spoke with say they want to use the energy of this moment to continue pushing for greater equality in the city of huntsville.

They say that starts with everyone voting in the general election.
