The John Breckinridge Castleman monument was removed from Cherokee Triangle without warning on Monday, June 8.
The thrust of the case is not whether the statue of Castleman riding a horse, dressed in civilian clothes served as a symbol of "racist or bigoted ideology,” as former Mayor Greg Fischer has said, but whether the city followed due process in removing it.
“Without the illegal decision of the Landmark Commission, that statue would have never been removed, so now it should go back,” Attorney Steve Porter said.
