A group of anti-Confederate protesters aren’t happy enough with the declaration by the city of Memphis that it wants to dig up and move the remains of Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest.

They want it done now.

A group surrounded a shovel Wednesday and ceremoniously removed a chunk of grass and soil.

Perhaps a plaque should be added to General Forrest’s grave commemorating his repentance for founding the KKK and tireless work late in life against racial violence and on behalf of African Americans.

I doubt it would make a difference to this group.
