"What's wrong with someone like Dolly Parton being put in that alcove?" asks Tennessee's House GOP Caucus Chair Jeremy Faison. He said he can think of "100 other people deserving of that post" than the Confederate general and early KKK leader.https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2019/12/10/nathan-bedford-forrest-monument-tennessee-rep-calls-removal/4380485002/ …
In summary, lawmaker floats idea of replacing Nathan Bedford Forrest's bust in Tennessee Capitol with Dolly Parton's busthttps://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2019/12/10/nathan-bedford-forrest-monument-tennessee-rep-calls-removal/4380485002/ …
Other Tennesseans @JeremyFaison4TN proposes deserve to be honored in the Capitol rather than Forrest: women's suffrage leader Anne Dallas Dudley, and the slaves who were forced to help construct the state Capitol building in the 1850s. #tnleghttps://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2019/12/10/nathan-bedford-forrest-monument-tennessee-rep-calls-removal/4380485002/ …
But nobody puts Dolly in an alcove.
Not Dolly. Just her bust. (OMG did I say that out loud?)
Get it out of there!
Worth noting: During the Civil War, Cocke and Greene counties, which Faison represents, were strongly Unionist. Easy to understand why he doesn't like Confederate general. More confusing is number of Repubs from east TN who are now confederate partisans.
Dolly’s own Sevier County was heavily pro-union as well IIRC.
I mean, Tennessee is produced two astronauts.
Agree, though in the case of Forrest I'd say the threat is pretty damn explicit
