Since the Civil War, Kentucky has never officially flown the CSA battle flag nor allowed it on license plates.

Additionally, the statue of Jefferson Davis, who was a Kentuckian, will apparently be moved from the Capitol rotunda in Frankfort. It presently shares space with Abraham Lincoln, also a Kentuckian.

I can't recall it being flown in an official capacity either.

As most know at this point, we have a statue of Jefferson Davis in our capital rotunda who in this whole knee jerk reaction will inevitably be moved to the museum there.

The local NAACP chapter is also petitioning to remove the Confederate Memorial near UofL.
