Workers prepare to remove the Jefferson Davis statue from the Kentucky state Capitol in Frankfort, Ky., on Saturday, June 13, 2020. A Kentucky commission voted to take down a statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis from the state Capitol. The panel supported a push from the governor as the country faces protests against police brutality following the deaths of African Americans in encounters with police.
“Today I pressed the button to bring it down," the Democratic governor said in his tweet. “Now, every child who walks into their Capitol feels welcome. Today we took a step forward for the betterment of every single Kentuckian." Later in the day, Beshear posted a photo showing the statue — secured in a crate — being loaded by crane onto a truck outside the statehouse. The governor tweeted that the Capitol “no longer houses a symbol of division. Change is possible. Together, we can make it happen."

Jefferson Finis Davis. As a member of the Democratic Party, he represented Mississippi in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives before the American Civil War.

Please come for this profile and see a fixed tweet! QAFsVcTvWYZ1A3Z I do not let you be sorry!
I have lived in TN 42 years, 23 in OH, less than 30 miles from KY in both cases. I never knew about this and so many other enemy monuments to a treasonous racist regime. They shouldn't be removed. They should be destroyed.
So gotta know......all the dumb ass children these people create, will they be able to learn about Jefferson Davis in Schools? Where does this end?
Statues are coming down Its the inner ❤ that needs a change Next movies Then books 📚? This is not good ,?
Doesn’t say what they’re doing with it tho 🤔
American Cultural Revolution😂
Stupid people
Another democrat
Removing statues will NEVER remove the hate from America!!!
Hate virus has not spared even statues of dead. Unfortunately voice of vast majority get silenced by few cunning & vocal persons who create divide between religions, races & even genders giving opportunity to hooligans to loot & damage property.
Every downed statue is 10 thousand more Republican votes
The statue was gone but the problem still exists.
You mean Democrat Jefferson Davis?
mixed emotions on this one.. do not believe in rewriting history but cannot for the life of me justify Jefferson Davis statue as he was a traitor... he and Benedict Arnold are the same to me
What are they doing with these removed statues? Are they going into a museum?
There’s a Jefferson Davis State Historic site in Kentucky. It needs to be renamed and repurposed. It’s a large obelisk. I think it should be changed and become a memorial for all slaves ever held in Kentucky. CivIlWarIsOver TraitorsLost BlackLivesMatter
CanYouSee The statue was gone but the problem still exists. Another pointless action and all for nothing.When is black lives matter going to actually start doing something to fix the problem?
The symbols of division and miss-trust must be removed from our society for the sake of unity and healing of our great nation.
Can't pretend like history never happened. Not all statues are meant to be glorified. If we erase the past we might repeat it. In other words this is stupid.
They should burn any money they might have that has a president on it who owned slaves. or melt
Ass
Why is he removed ?
This solves nothing
And that helps how exactly?
