Erasing history wounds all heals.
I suspect they will get away with it, just as California gets away with pretending it is a country unto itself.
Will the statue,or statues,be going to a museum?
.
It’s the GRAVEMARKER?
That’s disgusting.
I just assumed it was a straight-up statue?
Please correct me if I’m wrong. Maybe there is a prime gravestone besides a fancy statue?
I have a solution to all of this. History now only lasts 18 months.
It will make the Memphis City Council feel better about themselves. What other outstanding accomplishments can it claim?
I don’t claim what the South did was right. There are some decent arguments concerning State’s Rights though.
Whether we all agree with what took place or not, the fact is many of these Civil War men served with honor against us.
I have no problem with them honoring their war dead.
This expunging of history is just chicken s—t!
When will the citizens of Memphis have a chance to vote these people out of office?
If Hillary were prez the headline would have read: US Military Schools Ban Study of Confederate Generals Lee, Stonewall and Forrest’s battle tactics.
My impression of Memphis, at least of the parts I’ve seen when driving through, is that it is something of a hell hole. Hopefully there are nicer areas there, too, but “ghetto” comes to mind...
Desecrating graves is a new low but it matches the low life of these thugs trying to erase history.
Bad juju coming. Do not anger the dead.
My great Uncle rode with Forrest as part of the 5th Miss Cav .
Anyone planning on showing up to prevent this removal ?
I miss the rule of law. As we move into this brave new world, I worry that America’s enemies on the Left will also move us past that “awkward stage”.
Run, Forrest! RUN!
I believe it also means they have to return the park to the family.
The North unnaturalized the country.
Wasn’t Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forest the founder and great leader of the first deadly group of KKK killers who took black lives by the thousands soon after the Civil War ended? I seem to recall some histories that indicated that may have been factual but I could be mistaken.
