Confederate Monuments: Should They Stay or Go?
August 19, 2017 - Antonio Blair, left, and Mahal Burr, right, console Sydney Kesler, middle, after her friend, Patrick Ghant, was arrested by Memphis police officers at an event that started out as a peaceful protest at Nathan Bedford Forrest's Confederate statue, but turned chaotic during #TakeEmDown901's "Rally for Removal! Solidarity with Charlottesville!" action at Health Sciences Park on Saturday. The event follows a weeklong effort to have Confederate monuments, like Forrest and Jefferson Davis, removed from the city. (Yalonda M. James/ The Commercial Appeal)
