Thurs July 9, Tenn committee to vote on Nathan Bedford Forrest bust in state capitol [View all]

A hand-picked committee of Governor Bill Lee, who seems uninterested in removing the bust of the first grand wizard of the KKK (erected in 1978!) will vote Thursday morning whether the bust should remain. This committee was formed in response to Nashville protestors that have been occupying the state plaza in continuously since June 12. The more eyes on this vote, the more likely that they can be shamed into doing the right thing.
