Nathan Bedford Forrest
Henry attended the July 11, 1998 unveiling of the Sons of Confederate Veterans Nathan Bedford Forrest Equestrian Statue at Nathan Bedford Forrest Memorial Park in Nashville, Tennessee. The Nathan Bedford Forrest Equestrian Statue project was sponsored by the Southern League, the Mary Noel Kershaw Foundation, and all interested chapters of Sons of Confederate Veterans and United Daughters of the Confederacy. Henry made sure the new Nathan Bedford Forrest Statue would be visible to travelers from Interstate 65 by requesting that the Tennessee Department of Transportation remove brush and trees from adjacent right-of-way at taxpayer expense. The fiberglass statue was created by Nashville lawyer and sculptor Jack Kershaw, who was one of many lawyers hired to defend James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of Martin Luther King Jr. "The New York Times" identified Kershaw in a 2010 obituary article as a founder of the League of the South, a group known for its secessionist messages and anti-immigration rallies.
