Jefferson Davis Monument, Bronze monument in Mid-City, New Orleans, United States.
The bronze figure stood on a granite pedestal at the intersection of Canal Street and Jefferson Davis Parkway until its removal in 2017.
The monument was unveiled on February 22, 1911, following extensive fundraising efforts by the Jefferson Davis Memorial Association established in New Orleans.
The monument represented changing perspectives in New Orleans, leading to debates about Confederate symbols in public spaces and their impact on society.
The location coordinates of 29.96985° N and -90.09427° W mark the former position where the monument stood before its dismantling.
Edward Virginius Valentine designed the eight-foot-tall statue to depict Davis as a statesman addressing an audience with a dignified posture.
