If you ever heard about that hilariously ugly Nashville statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest it's actually kind of a similar situation. He put it up because the city eminent domained part of his land for a road, but refused to buy the whole lot, leaving him with an unsellable sliver.

Then he decided to build a metaphorical Killdozer of racism and poorly executed statuary in that sliver out of spite.
