Our Confederate Soldiers is a Confederate monument in Beaumont, Texas, United States. The memorial was removed and put into storage on June 29, 2020, in the wake of the George Floyd protests.
History
The statue was created in 1912, and placed in Keith Park. In 1926, it was moved to Wiess Park, a few miles away. The statue had to be repaired in 1986 after a storm knocked it over, and was put back on the pedestal.
