9:06Now PlayingThe bust of a former slave trader and Ku Klux Klan grand wizard will officially be removed from the Tennessee State Capitol.
The Tennessee State Building Commission voted 5-2 to remove the bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest, with a rare vote in favor from Gov. Bill Lee.
Gov. Lee previously avoided dealing with requests to relocate the bust.
But, in 2020, he asked the Capitol Commission to seek a waiver for relocation.
The commission agreed to move Forest's bust if U.S. Admirals David Farragut and Albert Gleaves busts went with it to the State Museum to create a Hall of Heroes exhibit.
Black lawmakers have fought for years to have the bust relocated.
