Now then: When do more statues visible to residents and tourists alike start appearing to join Towers and, just a few feet away, what strangers might assume is his guard dog?
There is no shortage of candidates, even forgetting bringing back the exiled statue of controversial Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest but remembering the similarly removed salute to the women of the Confederacy once also on Broad Street.
A historic district minus monuments to history is a strange sight. To mention a few possibilities: Martha Berry, Cherokee leaders John Ross and Major Ridge, First Lady Ellen Axson Wilson ... even Rosalind Burns Gammon, the mother of Von Gammon, without whom football might not exist in Georgia.
