Proposal to move Confederate monument sparks debate in East Feliciana Parish (LA)

By Robbie Reynold

Built in 1909, the monument has a soldier statue standing on top of it, commemorating the Confederate lives lost during the Civil War. It also has an image of the Confederate flag.

Paul Jackson .. wants the statue to be moved to the Clinton Confederate Cemetery. He said it would be a more appropriate location than the courthouse ...

Clinton Mayor Lori Bell said she doesn't have an opinion on the matter right now ...

Bell said the parish police jury will have to review Jackson’s proposal before any decisions are made.
