Summary

Description
English: Dedication ceremony of monument to Jefferson Davis, 22 February, 1911. Canal Street at Hagan Avenue, the latter being renamed "Jefferson Davis Avenue". The "Whites Only" ceremony included a mass of school children dressed in red, white, and blue forming a Confederate "living battle flag", in which formation they sang "Dixie".

Photo appears to show the statue partially draped with a Confederate Battle Flag, presumably during the unveiling.

The date of dedication was said to correspond with the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of Jefferson Davis as President of the Confederate States of America, though the actual anniversary would have been 4 days earlier since Davis's inauguration was on 18 February 1861.
