Winston-Salem’s Confederate statue stands outside the former Forsyth County Courthouse on Fourth Street downtown, which has been converted to private apartments. Erected by the James B. Gordon Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1905 and still owned by the UDC, the statue stands on private property. (Winston-Salem Journal/David Rolfe)
