To the cemetery down the street from me. This has been discussed before to keep racial tensions up. I thought the park reverts to the family if they do this.
And little noted is the fact that Forrest, who was NOT a founder of it, resigned from the Klan and cut all connections because it became too violent.

“After only a year as Grand Wizard, in January 1869, faced with an ungovernable membership employing methods that seemed increasingly counterproductive, Forrest issued KKK General Order Number One: “It is therefore ordered and decreed, that the masks and costumes of this Order be entirely abolished and destroyed.” By the end of his life, Forrest’s racial attitudes would evolve — in 1875, he advocated for the admission of blacks into law school — and he lived to fully renounce his involvement with the all-but-vanished Klan. A new, different, and much worse Klan would emerge, 35 years after Forrest’s death, in the wake of D.W. Griffith’s revolutionary 1915 film, Birth of a Nation, a reactionary screed with a racialist brief that had been expanded to include Catholics and immigrants of all kinds. The second Klan was never restricted to the South; its goals had nothing to do with Forrest’s vision of a restored Dixie.”
I’m waiting for somebody to complain about Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Va. Jefferson Davis, George Pickett, Fitzhugh Lee, J.E.B. Stuart, are among the more well know burials there. Plus there is a special burial spot holding unknown Confederate dead. What the people calling for all these changes are ignorant of, is that a large number of Confederate leaders and officers had served, or were serving this country in uniform prior to the beginning of the war.
The mayor of the most dangerous city in America is worried about two dead people and a statue?
But then, priorities, priorities!
