About the Business
The Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway, located at 1480-1482 Austin Highway in San Antonio, Texas, is a controversial institution that honors the former president of the Confederate States. Originally proposed in 1925 by influential member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Miss Decca Lamar West, the highway stretches from Virginia to California, although markers have been removed in some states. The institution has faced backlash for glorifying Jefferson Davis, who was a traitor to the United States and a supporter of slavery. Some argue that the markers along the highway are attempts to rewrite history and promote propaganda. The debate over the memorial's significance continues to be a contentious issue in communities along the route.
