Jefferson Davis: 'We recognize the fact of the inferiority stamped upon that [Black] race of men by the Creator, and from the cradle to the grave, our Government, as a civil institution, marks that inferiority' –An excerpt from then U.S. Senator Jefferson Davis of Mississippi in the Senate to his abolitionist colleague Senator William H. Seward of New York, Senate Chamber, U.S. Capitol, 29 February 1860, as quoted in The Papers of Jefferson Davis, Volume 6, pp. 277–84. Transcribed from the Congressional Globe, 36th Congress, 1st Session, pp. 916–18.

This is a monument to Jefferson Davis, funded by the Daughters of the Confederacy and even the Kentucky General Assembly[!?!] during the Jim Crow era. It is now a state museum. It is here because Fairview, Kentucky is the birthplace of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. During the Civil War, Davis could not travel to Kentucky because Kentucky remained and fought for the United States. It should be noted that despite Kentucky being a slave state, the overwhelming majority of Kentuckians joined up, fought for, and even sacrificed their lives for the United States, not the Confederacy.

I find it interesting that the road sign marks Fairview as the birthplace of United States Joint Chief of Staff General J.W. Ralston, NOT the big huge monument in the background to its other native, Confederate Jefferson Davis.

Jefferson Davis: 'We recognize the negro as God, and God's Book, and God's Laws in nature tell us to recognize him–our inferior, fitted expressly for servitude' –Source: Wikiquotes, Jefferson Davis. Speech (March 1861), as quoted in Look Away!: A History of the Confederate States of America (2002), by William C. Davis, New York: The Free Press, p. 137

Born June 3, 1808 near this 20th Century monument to him in Western Kentucky, Jefferson Davis was President of the Confederate States of America. His cause of white supremacy and the perpetual enslavement of African Americans was lost during his first, only, and incompleted term in office. Slavery was abolished shortly after the Civil War of 1861 to 1865, in which the South bore the brunt of destruction. Nearly 200,000 African Americans joined the U.S. military to fight against the Confederacy.

Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph - Hopkinsville, KY Built in 1903 by the Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph Company, telephone companies continually occupied this building until 1953. The composition and detailing of the stone façade suggest that Flemish Renaissance architecture provided the stylistic inspiration. The finely carved stone details include complex scrolls, mythological fish, cherub heads, and an elaborate shell in the pediment of the gable window. Today, this building is on the National Register of Historic Places as the Hopkinsville Commercial Historic District.
