The Memphis City Council Parks Committee on Tuesday approved an ordinance allowing the city to move the Nathan Bedford Forrest statue out of Health Sciences Park, and they also approved a resolution to move the remains of Forrest and his wife, which are buried at the park.
The ordinance and resolution came on the heels of a national movement to remove symbols of the Confederacy after a reported white supremacist, Dylann Roof, allegedly murdered nine church members at the historically black Emanuel AME Church in June.
I thought the South had some balls. I guess not. Baylor bends over to accommodate same-sex relationships. Memphis bends over to "rid guilt" due to a racist.
These places are giving what modernists want - approval of their self-indignation and giving into the "I knew the South was backwards, at least they're coming forth into the 21st century. We were right all along," mindset.
Pathetic.
