History

Carmack — formerly a US Senator — was shot and killed on November 9, 1908, by Duncan Brown Cooper and their son, Robin Cooper. Both were tried & convicted of murder, then pardoned by Governor Ham Patterson; in 1909, the Tennessee legislature provided for the creation of a memorial sculpture of him by Nancy Cox-McCormack, to be placed on the grounds of the Capitol. It was erected in 1927. [2]

The monument was toppled by demonstrators during the George Floyd protests in 2020. [3]
