Bold move. NBF is a VERY controversial figure. Only person in either civil war army to go from Private to LT General. Memphis City councilman, Slave trader, Co-founder of the Ku Klux Klan (and left when the morphed from a social club to a racist organization.) Unique.

Misleading headline "To meet our legal obligation, Gov. Lee signed the same proclamation that has been signed in years past,"the representative said"To be clear, a new law has not been signed it’s a proclamation in accordance with the existing law that the governor must follow."

Probably not the best idea to celebrate a man who was instrumental in the creation of the KKK. Forrest was a helluva calvary soldier, but not a very good person.
