The gift to the city was for this purpose, with this statue. If this is what the park was intended to commemorate, then there is a whole other issue there.

Maybe but the statue & park was literally donated 100 years ago in 1917. Segregation and the South's version of apartheid was in full swing then, with many Civil War veterans still alive. At some point the statute for keeping a statue around just because it was donated has to end, and I think it ended decades ago in this case.
