Moving General Forrest

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WKRN) — On December 20, 2017, a more than 100-year-old statue of General Nathan Bedford Forrest was taken down from a public park in Memphis. The remains of General Forrest and his wife are also entombed at the same place where the statue once stood. 

Soon, those remains will be moved from Memphis to Columbia, Tennessee where the Sons of Confederate Veterans is headquartered.

I can't say I disagree with this move. It's just a matter of time, given current sentiment regarding anything Confederate, before the graves are vandalized or even dug up and any remains desecrated.

Besides, no white boy has any business in Memphis.
