Clarification: This article is two years old. The “exhumation” was symbolic: Gen. Forrest’s body was not removed. The point is to see how much of a difference two years will make as actions become emboldened without consequences.

A group of protesters who want the body of an alleged Ku Klux Klan leader removed from their city have broken the soil over the grave.
The campaigners claim it has taken officials in Memphis, Tennessee, too long to exhume Nathan Bedford Forrest – who was a lieutenant general in the Confederate States Army.
They also want the statue of the soldier on a horse on the burial site to be removed. The rebel cavalryman, who died in 1877, has been buried in the city’s Health Sciences Park since 1904.

Tennessee has a statute which prohibits removal of historical monuments. It will slow down the DemonicRt city officials, well it will for a time.

I remember when this controversy was taking place. I added a clarification to the article.
By what authority do they define history? I wonder.
Once they get rid of history, they will get rid of you.
