Southern Horror #101 (Georgia, 6 of 43) by Kris Graves
A Confederate monument erected in 1923 stands in front of the Effingham County Magistrate Court in Springfield, Georgia. The monument was sponsored by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
While this was going on, I was commissioned by National Geographic to photograph memorials, monuments, and sites of the antebellum South. My friend Marshall Scheuttle and I drove approximately 4000 miles across eight southern states making photographs of every site we could find. Some have been removed, most remain in place.
