(WTHR)INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) — The monument memorializing Confederate prisoners of war is being removed from Garfield Park.Crews for removal Monday morning.The monument was originally at Greenlawn Cemetery, commissioned in 1912. It was a grave marker for Confederate soldiers who died while at Camp Morton — a Union prison in Indianapolis.It was moved to the park in 1928 after public officials — who were active in the KKK — wanted to make the monument more visible."Whatever original purpose this grave marker might once have had, for far too long it has served as nothing more than a painful reminder of our state’s horrific embrace of the Ku Klux Klan a century ago," said Mayor Joe Hosett about his decision to have it removed.The city approved a measure in 2017 to remove the monument once funding was secured. The city expects the removal to cost between $50,000 and $100,000.Filed under:&nbsp;
