Southern Horror #164

Southern Horror #164 (Alabama, 26 of 35) by Kris Graves Jefferson Davis High School, Montgomery, Alabama. Established in 1968 and named after Confederate President Jefferson Davis. 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.
