The first photograph was taken infront of the John B. Castlesman Monument. The monument has been vandalized by Louisville, Ky. citizens on multiple occasions because the statue is of a Conferate soilder. There has also been “Black Lives Matter” protest surrounding the monument so that it would be removed in 2017 but is still standing now.
