Two weeks into the Black Lives Matter campaign, homeschooler Jenna Sparks gets mad. This sixteen-year-old descendant of a Confederate ancestor, whose name was Jeptha Jefferson Davis Sparks, has a Black cousin, and seeing so many people in Jessamine who fly the Confederate battle flag angers her. So does walking by the Confederate statue, located just two blocks from her house.So Jenna writes a petition to “remove and destroy” the statue. Hundreds of locals immediately sign, and her campaign makes the news. An interracial group of ministers led by Pastor Moses of First Baptist Church circulates Jenna’s petition. Then they write and submit their own to the judge. Jessamine County seems poised to reckon with its sordid record on race and Civil War memory.TimestampsTranscript: Visit www.rebelonmain.com/episode4/transcript.EngageCheck out our website at rebelonmain.com.To support future creative projects, contribute here: rebelonmain.com/support.Email [email protected] to let me know what you think of this episode of Rebel on Main.Please give a rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast platform.ResourcesFor pictures of Jenna, Pastor Moses, and the Wilmore march, head to rebelonmain.com/episode4.George Wright, A History of Blacks In Kentucky:  In Pursuit of Equality, 1890-1980Michael Emerson and Christian Smith, Divided by Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in AmericaOn the Fallen Monuments Park in Moscow, see https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/fallen-monument-park.Production teamWriter and Host: David R.
