Confederate Monument, Veterans Park
2006 Corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 13th St. This is a recent addition to Veterans Park, erected in 2008. It was erected by the Jacob Summerlin Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and is a granite obelisk that sits on a a circular multi-color brickwork platform designed as a depiction of the Southern Cross of Honor. The obelisk carries a number of quotes on its base, and the obelisk itself is engraved with numerous names. It is not at all clear from this monument what these names represent--whether they are Confederate veterans or the names of current members of the local camp of the SCV. More word on that later. « prev 1 next »
