The State Building Commission is expected to make a final decision this week on whether to remove the Nathan Bedford Forrest bust from the State Capitol, the Tennessee Journal reports. The commission will take up the matter during its meeting on Thursday. If the group votes to concur with the State Capitol Commission’s decision, the bust of the early KKK leader and Confederate general, along with three other busts, would be relocated to the Tennessee State Museum.
