Confederate monument is removed from the old Forsyth County courthouse site

Confederate monument is removed from the old Forsyth County courthouse site 2019
Winston-Salem
The City of Winston-Salem dismantled the Confederate Dead Monument at the old Forsyth County courthouse on March 12, 2019, 113 years after its dedication.
The monument was dedicated on Oct. 3, 1905, by the James B. Gordon Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. After the old courthouse was sold to a private developer in 2014, the owners told the group the statue could not stay on the property. Efforts by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to compel the city to restore it did not succeed, and the statue was reassembled at Valor Memorial Park in Davidson County in July 2024.
