OCTOBER 21, 2022

**  Mississppi town with Confederate monument gets  Emmett Till statue.  (Greenwood, Mississippi.  As it should be.  His death should never be forgotten or forgiven.  What was done to him was horrible.  I'd even like to see his home in Chicago preserved and turned into a museum.)

**  Russia is suffering from the same problems that doomed the Confederacy. (Washington Post)

**  The Army's Fort Hood gets new name for wokeness sake.  Here's who gets the  honor.  (It will be renamed for Richard Cavazos, a very deserving person.  But, I like the part about "wokeness." )

Cemeteries Become BLM Targets, Even Brazil

JULY 12, 2020


**  As a Black woman  from the South, removal of Confederate symbols important to me.  (CNN)

**  Hundreds demanding removal  of Confederate statue in Graham met by counterprotesters.  (North Carolina)

**  Southern Democrats' split with Republicans over Confederate symbols is more recent than you think.

**  Courthouse's Confederate statue enters Giles County drug case.  (Pearisburg, Virginia.  A black defendant believes he can't get a fair trial with the statue outside the courthouse.  (Where will it end?)

**  Letter:  Confederate monuments:  The fake news of the time.

**  They lost the Civil War and fled to Brazil.  Their descendants refuse to take down the Confederate flag.  (Washington Post)

**  Sylvia approves resolution to ban Confederate imagery from town property.  (North Carolina.  Such a huge surprise.  What will Sylvia's mother say??)

**  Statue at Confederate graves vandalized  at Savannah cemetery.    Placed at Laurel Grove Cemetery in 1879.  Statue of a woman named "Silence."  Spray-painted and broke the statue's hand.   The mayor, a black man, vows to find the people who did this and prosecute them.  Too bad he can't be the mayor of Richmond, Va.  Again, this is not vandalism.  It is a hate crime.)

**  Cemetery vandals hit Confederate markers.  (Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas.  Spray-painted and broke it enough that it can't be repaired.  Lots and lots of obscenities.)

Like I Said, Cemeteries Are Next On the BLM Hit List.  --Old Secesh
