Rename the Jefferson Davis State Historic Site in Fairview, Kentucky

  • af: Bradley B
  • mottagare: Donnie Holland, Commissioner of State Parks; Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, Kentucky
The Jefferson Davis Monument State Historic Site is a Kentucky state park commemorating the birthplace of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America, in Fairview, Kentucky. In the wake of the tragic events in Charlottesville, and due to the clear reverence that white supremacists hold for confederate memorials, it's time to remove and rename this memorial to the Confederate president.

Simon Bolivar Buckner, Sr., a Confederate general, first proposed the idea of a monument for Davis during a reunion of the Orphan Brigade of the Confederate Army in 1907. Construction began in 1917 but stopped in 1918 due to building material rationing during World War I. Construction resumed in January 1922 and was finished in 1924.

This petition seeks to a) rename the state park, b) demolish the Jefferson Davis monument that sits at this site in Fairview, Kentucky.
