Is It confederate or Confederate? Lee University Professor's Unique Approach to Confederate Statue. Not That Lee.

AUGUST 10, 2020


**  Fort Smith Board of Education tables discussion to change  school named after former confederate general.  (20/29 News.  Arkansas.  Or should I write arkansas since they must not know about proper names.  It is one of six schools in Arkansas named after Confederates.)

**  Lee University professor  proposes unique  approach to Confederate statue.  (Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee.  Let statue remain but build a cylinder around most of it with quotations by Civil Rights people.  Well, that's a different approach indeed.  By the way, Lee University was not named after you-know-who so its name does not have to be changed.  It was named for Flavius J. Lee, an early leader  in the Church of God and second president of the school.  Goes to show you that a Lee is not necessarily the Lee.)

**  'Why can't I own it?' Fort Bend resident seeking  ownership of monument honoring white supremacists.  (Texas.  There is some question as to who owns the monument in Richmond.  He is a black man.  The statue honors three members of a group called the Jaybirds who were involved in the Jaybird-Woodpecker War 1888-1889.  The Jaybirds were an all-white group and the Woodpeckers were a biracial group.  Seven deaths occurred.)

**  Protesters seek removal of Confederate statue in Collierville.  (Tennessee)

**  Confederate statue to be removed at Ole Miss.  (Moved from prominent campus site to cemetery on campus.  It will cost $1.2 million, paid for by private donations.

Sure Would be Nice If Some People Figured Out That Confederate Is a Proper Name and Should be Capitalized.  --Old Secesh
