The Dallas Southern Memorial Association is a non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas, that was established in 1893. The primary objective of the association is to honor and preserve the memory of fallen soldiers who fought during the Civil War. The association is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the Confederate War Memorial, which is a prominent landmark in downtown Dallas.

The Confederate War Memorial is a 60-foot-tall obelisk made of granite and stands on a base made of limestone. The monument is adorned with bronze statues of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, as well as Confederate president Jefferson Davis. The monument was erected in 1897 and has been a point of controversy over the years.

The Dallas Southern Memorial Association is dedicated to preserving the history and culture of the Confederacy and the South. The association provides educational programs and resources to the community to promote the Southern heritage and Confederate history. The association also sponsors events and activities throughout the year, such as Confederate Memorial Day and the annual Lee-Jackson Day celebration.

In recent years, the association has faced criticism for its support of Confederate symbols and monuments. However, the association maintains that its mission is to honor and remember the sacrifices of Confederate soldiers and to promote an understanding of Southern culture and history.
