By Kyeland Jackson —
U of L’s infamous confederate monument could move as far as an hour southwest from campus.
Reported by the Courier-Journal, about two dozen appealed to Mayor Greg Fischer’s art commission Monday, trying to move the statue to suggested locations. Many ideas came from Brandenburg officials, who said they would welcome the monument as another tourism spot for the city.
Brandenburg holds Civil War reenactments every two years, attracting many to city.
Paducah, Virginia, Perryville and other locations were suggested for where the monument could move.
