DeKalb County Confederate Monument, Confederate memorial obelisk at Historic Courthouse, Decatur, United States.

The DeKalb County Confederate Monument was a 30-foot (9.1 m) stone obelisk erected near the old county courthouse in Decatur, Georgia. Its base carried inscriptions on all four faces, including a south-face dedication to the soldiers and sailors of the Confederacy and a west-face text beginning "After forty two years another generation bears witness." It was removed on June 18, 2020.

The 30-foot stone obelisk was erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy near the old county courthouse in Decatur in 1908. It stood there until June 12, 2020, when Superior Court Justice Clarence Seeliger ordered its removal as a public nuisance under the Georgia code, acting after activism by Beacon Hill Decatur and Decatur High School students. It was taken down on June 18, 2020, among memorials removed after the murder of George Floyd. In January 2021 the city announced a John Lewis statue by Basil Watson for the spot; it was unveiled in August 2024.

The inscriptions on its four faces were composed as a statement of Confederate ideology, asserting that the states created the Union and that the men were "of a covenant keeping race." Activism by Beacon Hill Decatur and Decatur High School students led to the removal order, and the obelisk came down on June 18, 2020, one of several memorials removed after George Floyd's murder. A statue of John Lewis by Basil Watson was unveiled on the spot in August 2024.

The obelisk no longer stands: it was taken down on June 18, 2020, so there is nothing of it left to see at the old county courthouse in Decatur. Since August 2024 the spot has been occupied by the John Lewis Memorial, a statue by Basil Watson. Look for the statue on the courthouse square in central Decatur.

The monument no longer stands: Justice Clarence Seeliger ordered its removal on June 12, 2020, as a public nuisance, and it came down on June 18. In its place, a statue of John Lewis by Basil Watson was unveiled in August 2024, so visitors now see a different figure near the old courthouse.
