** Group calls on SC to discontinue license plates featuring Confederate flag. (Let's see, you think it might be a black group? Let's see. It was CAIR, Council on American-Islamic Relations. Not necessarily Blacks. I wonder what they have to say about 9/11?)
** Confederate statue in Dalton related to previous protests removed and relocated. (Georgia. General Joseph E. Johnston. Moved to a private museum. This paid for by UDC and they shouldn't have had to pay for it. As I have said before, if you want it gone, put YOUR money where YOUR mouth is.)
** How an ex-slave and a Confederate hero joined forces during the Jim Crow era. (A very interesting story about a new book about the case of a poor black farmer George Dinning charged with murder in Kentucky in the postwar South was defended by Bennett H. Young, a Confederate hero. Well worth a read.)
** New bill would ban Confederate flag at Michigan's Capitol. (Introduced by a black state senator. Also backing a bill making Juneteenth a state holiday. Kind of racist sounding.)
** Column: A son of the South, here's why I grew up to no longer 'look away' from Dixie's cruel past.
** Black history underestimated in public markers. (I agree with this statement. Blacks have accomplished many notable achievements and should be recognized. Especially those who overcame Jim Crow restrictions.
Of Course, When It Comes to Historical Markers of Any Sort, I Am All in Favor of Them. --Old Secesh
