That Very Slick Memphis. Ole Miss, Portsmouth Va., Stonewall, Mail-In Ballots and Rome

AUGUST 22, 2020


**  Ole Miss players pleased with tarps obstructing view of  campus Confederate monument.  (So glad they are now happy.  You really don't want unhappy football players.)

**  Both sides forge respect during battle over Confederate statues in Memphis.  (In case you don't remember, Memphis found a questionable way to skirt around the issue to remove the Nathan Forrest and Jefferson Davis statues by selling the park to an organization formed just for the occasion. That "organization" then took the statues down.  Very sneaky Memphis.)

**  Portsmouth police chief releases statement about investigation  into Confederate monument protest.  (14 rioters committing hate crimes were charged with felonies.)

**  Stonewall Jackson's arm:  How Clarksburg, West Virginia, grapples with its Confederate heritage."

**  Mail-in ballots were part of a plot to  deny Lincoln reelection in 1864.

**  Scholar expresses interest  in consulting local statue committee regarding Confederate statue.  (Nathan Forrest statue in Rome, Georgia)
