The Second Civil War: South Carolina, Univ. of Texas, JEB Stuart and Raleigh

JULY 13, 2020


**  Legal change could be slow for controversial  SC memorials.   The Heritage Act requires legislature to remove statues.  John C. Calhoun statue taken down.  Wade Hampton statue and others might be coming down.

**  University of Texas  making changes after  Black athlete demands; football field renamed.  Jo Jamail Field at Darrell K. Royall Stadium has been renamed the Campbell/Williams Field after their Heismann Award winners Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams.

There was also a movement to get rid of the "Eyes of Texas" saying it had racial undertones.  It will be kept with maybe some word changes.  I saw the words to it and couldn't pick out anything racial about it.

**  Fort Worth Star-Telegram keeps up with the Confederadication better than any newspaper I've seen.  So, if you want more information, go there.

** Descendant of JEB Stuart  wants statue at his birthplace.  (You know the statue they took down in Sad Richmond a short time ago.)

**  Workers removing statue of antebellum North Carolina chief justice.  (Raleigh   Thomas Ruffin.  This was done because of his opinion that overturned  the conviction of a slave owner for shooting a slave in the back after refusing his orders.
