Last March a cannon that had stood outside the former Robert E. Lee Middle School was moved to Greenwood Cemetery. Now the cemetery might be getting a confederate monument to go with it.

We visit a corner of Greenwood that honors the Civil War dead from the Confederate army and talk to Sexton Don Price about the history of the cemetery.
