How About That Woke State University or Cancel Culture University in Utah? A Statue of York, a Slave with Lewis and Clark Expedition

MARCH 1, 2021

**  A murky legacy:  Confederate generals who fought to uphold slavery later helped black Virginians. (William Mahone, Benjamin F, Bland and William Taliaferro.  So, there might have been another side to the story.  Maybe some Confederates weren't the vile people our wokers paint them as.)

**  Danville museum shifts mission to showcase all sides of history.   (Virginia.  Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History)

**  Sculpture of enslaved explorer mysteriously appears in Oregon Park.  (Bust of York, a slave of  William Clark.  The more statues we have of history the better.  I did not know that there was a slave along with the Lewis and Clark Expedition.  About time.)

**  Reese:  Dixie State University needs a new name.  (Utah.  I've already offered up one for the new name:  Woke State University.  Or, how about Cancel Culture University?)  (Or maybe Black Lives Matter University?)

**  How a wave of segregationists  tributes from streets to  schools entrenched the  ideas of white supremacy.

What Is Wrong With Virginia? Even Boothbay, Maine? That Horrible Confederate Flag on a Fire Truck in New York

 SEPTEMBER 1, 2020

**   Letter:  Dismayed at seeing Confederate flag.  (Boothbay, Maine.  Someone is flying a Confederate flag in town.  I know what they mean.  I am dismayed whenever I see a BLM flag, banner, poster or tee shirt.  I can only think about the rioting, looting, ransacking, confrontations and hate crimes these people commit in the name of peace.)

**  Confederate flags and the Constitution.  (Boothbay, Maine.  Writer is anti-Confederate and said they'd just been in Virginia and hadn't seen a single Confederate flag, but yet there is one flying in Boothbay.)

**  Artists want Mississippi flag with wide appeal, not division.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2020

**  Cuomo:  State  probing Confederate flag display on Brookhaven fire vehicle.  (New York.  They probably wouldn't investigate a BLM display on one.  After all, the good folks at BLM are responsible for so much arson.)

**  Loudoun County set to inventory Confederate and segregationist roads roads, buildings.  (Virginia, of course.  In July a Confederate statue was removed from Leesburg, shortly after the protection law was scrapped.  I sure wish I knew what was wrong with Virginia's water or air to make so many people turn like that?  It's like a Zombie Apocalypse and they are all in search of Confederate brains. )

**  By the way, Leesburg, the county seat of Loudoun County is named after Thomas Lee, an ancestor of Robert E. Lee and slave owner.  Looks like the name of the city will have to be changed.

Still "Silent", Confederate Flag, St. Augustine and a Confederate Rose

February 22, 2020

Again, these are headlines from newspapers and media outlets around the country.

**  Virginia is poised  to let cities remove Confederate monuments.  It's about damn time.

**  Confederate group has 45 days to return 'Silent Sam' to UNC.  (And, then what will UNC do with it?  Probably just bury it.)

**  The history of the Confederate flag and what it represents.  (A very anti-Confederate article.  What does this have to do with teens and their fashions?  Written by Jameelah Nasheed.  I reckon that explains it.  No racism here, of course.)

**  St. Augustine wants community's input on memorial to honor black troops.  (Florida--  If black troops played a role in St. Augustine during the war I'll be all for it.  You can never have too many things about history.)

**  Sharing flower cuttings is a joy.  (Andalusia Star-News,  Alabama--  This is about the Confederate Rose flower.  I reckon there will be those people who want to change this name.  You know, slavery and all.)

**  Statue of archsegregationist remains in Capitol Square.  (Richmond, Va.  -- Statue of Harry F. Byrd, Sr.  From the Richmond Free Press, a black newspaper.)
