Jefferson Davis Statue (since removed) - Memphis, TN

Disclaimer: Recently, everything that is associated with Nathan Bedford Forrest or the Confederacy in general has become controversial. I take no sides in the matter, but I am documenting this for the historical and newsworthy nature.

On Dec 20th, 2017, this statue was removed following years of debate. This photo was taken in the summer of 2015.

Historically, this downtown park was known as Confederate Park, but a few years ago was renamed to "Mempis Park"

Here is the text on the base
Jefferson Davis
President of the Confederate States of America 1861-1865
Before the war Between the States he served with distinction as a United States Congressman and twice as a United States Senator. He also served as Secretary of War of the United States.
He Was a true American Patriot.

Below that is a metal plaque signifying Confederate Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
