Remains Of Confederate General Exhumed For Relocation To Middle Tennessee [View all]

The group responsible for relocating the monument of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest say the remains of Forrest and his wife are gone from a Memphis park.

They’ll be reinterred at the National Confederate Museum in Columbia.

WKNO-FM in Memphis reports that officials there are saying that moving the gravesite of the slave trader and early leader of the Ku Klux Klan means the park “can just be a park.” The removal comes ahead of planned festivities marking Juneteenth, a commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States.
