On Monday, July 25, 2016, the Louisville Commision on Public Art held a meeting to decide what should be done with a 121-year-old Confederate monument. In Brandenburg, KY, a re-enactment is held every two years and Mayor Ronnie Joyner thinks the monument would boost tourism. Supporters of the monument say it should stay in Louisville as a part of history and not as a matter of which side of the Civil War you were on. It was agreed that nothing would happen to the monument until a new location is found for it.
