On May 9, 2019, Louisville's Landmark Commission voted to remove the Castleman statue.

The high court agreed in a 6-1 vote that the city did not follow due process because two commissioners on the Historic Landmarks Commission, which voted to remove the statue, had a conflict of interest.

The John Breckinridge Castleman monument was removed from Cherokee Triangle without warning on Monday, June 8. 

After 18 months of controversy, a vote was taken Wednesday night regarding the future of the John B. Castleman statue in the Highlands.
