This is not the correct photo: the actual statue has the horse rearing. – Modal Jig 20:56, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure that's a horse rearing but that's the correct photo (the one someone uploaded to and you removed from the article was a Forrest statue in Memphis, I believe). When I can stop laughing long enough, I marvel at how well the artist captured the essence of Forrest and the Confederacy’s heroic and gallant stand for slavery - in "some materials …[used] to make bathtubs with." I uploaded the link to photographer Brent Moore's Flickr photo; it's still pending license review but since it's CC Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0) it that should be OK.

Removed incorrect photo[edit]

I've removed the photo that was not a photo of the statue in the article. There's a photo of the subject statue at [1] – Modal Jig 23:48, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
