Caddo Parish, LA – A settlement has been reached in Shreveport Chapter #237 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) vs. Caddo Parish Commission.

Parties from both sides in the case met on Monday, July 20 and signed an agreement allowing the Caddo Parish Commission/Parish of Caddo to move forward with removing the monument and transporting to another location, undetermined at this time.

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement in the UDC v. Commission case,” said Donna Frazier, Parish Attorney.  “The Parish has executed all legal means in the removal of the monument, and will proceed with next steps,” said Frazier.

The Parish will engage in the next steps of continuing to develop a removal process for the monument and initiating an RFP/bid process for the actual removal, transportation and installation at the new site to be determined.
