The family of Confederate Gen. Nathan
Bedford Forrest and the Sons of Confederate Veterans filed a petition
Wednesday seeking legal action against the city of Memphis for its role
in taking down three Confederate statues last month.
The petition, filed with the Tennessee Historical Commission, accuses the city and nonprofit Memphis Greenspace
Inc. of violating "numerous" state laws on Dec. 20, when Greenspace
removed the Forrest statue from its pedestal atop his and his wife's
graves in Health Sciences Park, and statues of Confederate President
Jefferson Davis and war correspondent and Capt. J. Harvey Mathes from
Fourth Bluff Park.

Yes! I am so glad this desecration is not going to be allowed

Thanks.
Amazing, huh? :(
DeleteWe've had a similar run of events down here. White liberals from up North, combined with self styled "black leaders" have caused the removal of several Confederate statues in Decatur and other areas. Since the town councils are black, and the population of those places is largely black, they have no problem doing it. But they don't change anything. They're too ignorant and unintelligent to realize that each of these events just motivates Southerners to resist, and heightens the awareness of Southerners that their way of life is under attack.

DeleteIndeed it does.
It's not the dead Confederates they need be concerned about, it's the ones still living.
ReplyDeleteI assume you must be referring to the sons as there are no longer any living Confederate veterans.
DeleteYes, you are correct. :)
Delete:) Thanks.
