"For its part, Alabama has spent more than $1 million over the last decade to maintain the First White House of the Confederacy as a monument to Davis.
Alabama taxpayers have also allocated more than $5.6 million to Confederate Memorial Park, which the state's all-white legislature established in 1964 as a "shrine to the honor of Alabama's citizens of the Confederacy."

Many people have suggested placing these monuments into context by including materials to explain where and how they came to be, rather than let them stand as a memorial to the state's less than honorable past chapters.
