But city council member Janis Fullilove asked if the move has something to do with a rumored “$500 million [University of Tennessee] expansion” that would use the land where Forrest is currently buried.

Could there be a reason for their faux-rage?

The UT thing didn't get out at first. I suspect if true then UT wants the
land minus the burial site.

Interesting if this move becomes reality then that will be the 3rd burial for Forrest.
His original burial was in the Elmwood Cemetery which was his request in his will.
In the early 1900 the City of Memphis named this park area after him and moved his
remains to the present location. If all goes as planned and his remains are moved back
to Elmwood then burial #3 will occur.

Strange happens.
