Nathan Bedford Forrest statue, Nashville, USA
25 ft tall Nathan Bedford Forrest Equestrian fiberglass statue sculpted by late attorney and sculptor Jack Kershaw was unveiled in 1998 and is located next to I-65 Nashville. The statue is surrounded by 13 battle flag and 13 Confederate flags. However, the silver, gold privately owned statue has been a recipient of several acts of vandalism and is considered ugly by numerous residents. Moreover, there have been various demands for it to be taken down. Admittedly, not a great looking statue, we think people have problems with it because of who it represents, Nathan Bedford, a symbol of racist past of America.
