FILE - In this Feb. 6, 2013, file photo, a statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest sits on a concrete pedestal at a park named after the confederate cavalryman in Memphis Tenn. Descendants of Nathan Bedford Forrest are claiming that the graves of the Confederate general and his wife were desecrated when the statue of him was removed from a Tennessee park last year. Forrest’s great-great-grandsons filed a lawsuit in a Memphis court Monday, Dec. 17, 2018, seeking damages and possession of the statue after it was taken down in December 2017.
