Rolling Stone Why Dolly Parton Doesn’t Deserve a Nashville Statue Yet A bill proposes erecting a likeness of the country-music legend at the Tennessee state capitol, but any new statue should honor a black leader By Richard E. Aaron/Redferns/Getty Images No one can dispute the artistic, humanitarian, and philanthropic legacy of Dolly Parton. Her $1 million donation last spring to Vanderbilt University to develop a Covid vaccine has all but helped save the world. But a recent proposal to honor the Sevierville, Tennessee, native with a statue on the capitol grounds in Nashville is premature.
