The executive director of the Beauvoir Estate in Biloxi, Tom Payne, said it only makes sense for the Jefferson Davis monument to end up there, and the museum would take the rest if the city agrees.
Beauvoir is where Jefferson Davis lived during retirement. The estate is about an hour and a half away from New Orleans in Mississippi.
Payne said the 52-acre estate has a museum where the monuments could be put in the correct historical context.

Sounds good to me

Like the Jeff Davis statue that has disappeared?

Would rather that than having the stetue destroyed.

Mississippi has a higher regard for history than LA
That is just sad

If Mitch says no, you KNOW he's planning for some scratch from whomever will get them.

It would be hilarious if someone then turned around and bought the statues and put them on private property in NOLA.

I wonder if the people who erected the statues ever thought about how fricking stupid people would be just 100 years in the future

How much did Mitch pocket of the $600K?

I've heard of that place but I had no idea that it was 52 acres. That is more than enough room to place these three statues. This is a wonderful idea.

Fofo Gillich took down the flag in Biloxi

I took a field trip to Beauvoir in the 8th grade. Are schools taking the little snowflakes-in-training there nowadays?

Hell, just 30 years ago I wouldn't have believed it.

Half this country now supports segregation on college campuses, obsesses over trannies, and riots over a temporary pause in immigration from Somalia. So don't expect much going forward besides a slow steady sink to third world status.

I thought they offered a while ago, and Mitch said no

Can we all agree that New Orleans sucks, folks? Complete embarrassment to the state of Louisiana
