A poster here on Free Republic (don’t remember who or which article) said that the agreement between the Forrest family and the city of Memphis was that the land the park sits on was willed to the city as long as Forrest’s bones remained where they are. If they are removed, the land reverts to the family members. Does anyone know about this?

I have also heard that. But alas, I don't know if it is true or not.
But then again, the black city of Memphis will argue that any agreement with white Confederate sympathizers should not be recognized. And I can guaran-damn-tee they will find some judge to agree with them. All the way to the Supreme Court.

If true it will be ignored, Memphis accepted a large sum of money to name the city operated hospital the “John Gaston Hospital”, time goes by they changed the name kept the money. Vanderbilt received money for buildings to be named for General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson and others but eventually changed the names and kept the money.

Don't you worry about a thing. If this happened, Obama would simply issue an Executive Order. If that wasn't enough, the SCOTUS would rule that the words in the will have the opposite meaning, when taken in the context of the time.
