A lawsuit was filed Thursday against the city of Birmingham to prevent the removal of the Confederate memorial in Linn Park, court records show.

Since July 1, talk of removing or relocating the Confederate Soldiers & Sailors monument, at the park's southern entrance, has elicited strong reactions.

In July, the Birmingham Park and Recreation Board unanimously approved a resolution – proposed by board member and former mayor Bernard Kincaid – to remove the monument and give it to a Confederate heritage group.
