From the Sept. 26, 2012, CBS News
The Selma, Alabama, City Council voted to stop work on the statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest in the cemetery because of black marches and opposition. Ten years ago, their demonstrations led to the statue being removed from outside a public building in a very visible site to the cemetery's Confederate section.
More recently, someone, wonder who, cut the head off the statue. Groups are trying to restore it, but the blacks and their supporters don't want it.
Looks Like They Have Won This One, At least Temporarily. --Old Secesh
