Nathan Bedford Forrest [gone]
Nashville, TN
In 1998, this 25-foot-tall fiberglass statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest was installed next to I-65. The equestrian statue aroused much controversy since Forrest was a major figure in the founding and growth of the Ku Klux Klan. Confederate flags were installed on the flagpoles. In 2017, vandals painted the statue pink. In 2021, the statue was removed and destroyed. For more, see this website.
