Pulaski, Tennessee, is the birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan, but a new group is working to overcome that history and make the city more inclusive, especially for Black residents. The Tennessean reports on the work of the Community Advisory Council on Inclusive Recognition & Acknowledgement (CACIRA), which is focusing on highlighting overlooked historical figures of their city, starting with the slaves who fought for the Union Army. New monuments that are approved will be erected at Cave Spring Park, which is located in a part of the city that was home to many of Pulaski's Black population.
