First proposed Stonewall Jackson statue!

It’s a shame that this statue was never made… but what if an individual or organization started a fundraising campaign to finally make the statue a reality? How cool would that be?

Changing out the flag at Lee-Jackson Memorial Park

Lee-Jackson Park is a privately owned park being created to honor Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, and other historical heroes who fought for the Confederacy. With local, state, and federal governments deciding that only one perspective deserves to be recognized and only one type of historical figure honored on public land, it falls to individuals and groups to create monuments, at their own expense, honoring these marginalized heroes. It is inspiring and hope-giving that people have done exactly this, Lee-Jackson Park being one example. It is my goal to visit it one day.
