Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said Wednesday that the bust of Nathan Bedford Forest, a Confederate general and early Ku Klux Klan leader, should be removed from the state Capitol and put in the state museum. The bust was unveiled in 1978 and has sparked multiple protests demanding its removal over the years. Former Gov. Bill Haslam similarly advocated for its removal.
