August 16 2017: In the wake of violence in Charlottsville VA, the Dallas City Counsel has put forth a resolution to call a vote on removal of memorials to the Confederacy on public property. A citizen task force has been called and a vote by the counsel is set to occur by September 13th. - Under consideration is the Robert E Lee statue in the park which also bares his name. Located in the prosperous Uptown neighborhood, the statue and park were commemorated in 1936 by President Franklin Roosevelt and a 3/4 size replica of Lee's Arlington Hall home was completed in 1939. Originally called Oak Lawn Park, the City of Dallas purchased the property in 1909 to serve as the first public park in North Dallas. September 6, 2017; The Dallas City Council voted 13-1 to immediately remove and place into storage the Robert E Lee statue in the Uptown neighborhood park bearing his name but the process was delayed after a court injunction halted the process. The injunction was lifted but multiple delays have prevented the statues removal. September 14 2017; After several logistical delays a new crane was brought in and the statue of Robert E Lee was removed on Sept 14th and placed onto a storage facility. In June of 2019 the city auctioned off the statue for $1.4 million to Dallas billionaire, Kelcy Warren, and as of 2023, the statue is on display at the privately owned Lajitas Golf Resort in Terlingua, Texas.
