Denton Confederate Soldier Monument, Confederate memorial at Courthouse Square in Denton, Texas.
The granite monument featured polished marble tablets and stood over 12 feet tall, depicting an armed Confederate soldier on an inscribed arch.
The Katie Daffan Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy funded and erected this monument in 1918 to commemorate Confederate soldiers of the Civil War.
The monument generated public discussions about racial history, leading to protests and debates about its presence in the community from 1999 onwards.
The monument was removed on June 25, 2020, and its components are planned for display at the Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum with educational context.
Local resident Willie Hudspeth conducted regular protests against the monument for over 20 years until its final removal in 2020.
