Saunders, Lecturer of Communication Arts Friday November 13, 3:30-4:30 p.m. Nathan Bedford Forrest is one of the most polarizing figures from the Civil War as he was a slave trader and founding member of the KKK. He also was one of the first to make reparations to his former slaves after the war, and succeeded in shutting down the KKK when it started attacking people based on race. I will discuss Forrest, the lifespan of his statue above his grave in Memphis, and how the trajectory of the statue mirrors the evolution of the South’s Lost Cause Narrative.
