The Destruction of My Car
From: hk.edgerton@gmail.com
Anyone who has a copy of my brothers book on the Historic March Across
Dixie knows that I need a new pair of shoes. However, I knew that my car needed
repairs if it was to make it to Texas on my 10 year anniversary March. And so I
made the decision to invest $424.00 on the needed repairs on Friday from my
scarce coffers. However, on Saturday night, October 7, 2012, as I returned home,
it would cut off 200 yards from my exist on Interstate 40, and refuse to start.
I would manage to get it on the side of the road. I would return this Sunday
morning and find that my car had been almost totally wiped out by a hit and run
driver.
I am to began marching on Monday morning, October 15, 2012, however that
may now be in jeopardy; now with no shoes or car, or money; I don't know what to
do but pray.I am so sad this morning as I contemplate that I may now have to
cancel this Historic journey back to Austin where the Testimonial Plaques of
General Lee to the soldiers of Texas, and the Confederate Seal has yet to be
return to their lawful place in the Supreme Court Building. And not to even
forget Robert E. Lee High School that has been on my radar for months now in
Midland, Texas, or that while I have been asked by some members of the Friends
of Forrest to stay out of the affairs that surround the Forrest monument in
Selma, Alabama, I have looked so forward to crossing the Edmund Petus Bridge
again, and asking for the arrest of the State Senators wife who conspired to
have that monument illegally removed on a radio broadcast that the FCC should
investigate, and should remove that stations license.
I wish that I could report that after ten years my Southland and its
honorable people had finally found vindication from all the wrong heaped upon it
from those who raped, robbed, and stole its way to the so called victory in
1865. However, 150 years later in these Sesquicentennial years, my Northern
family has been able to garnish from the public treasure vast amounts of monies
to continue the propaganda they began with the establishment of the Public
school system in 1865, with largely no funds given to Southern organizations to
present the Southern side of a tale told . They now present to our Southern
babies in the schools of the South exhibits that make Lincoln , a war
criminal, out to be as the Puritans presented him after the war as some
kind of hero. Never mind the Corwin Amendment, the Morrill Tariff, or the
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, or that he had to use almost a quarter
of his army to put down insurrections in the North, or that he color coded the
ballot and used this same army to force citizens to vote for him, or face
whippings or death if they did not, and on and on.
Yes, on this highway that I march, I do tell a different tale to the many
who come to hear, or even to fill my ears as their spirits are uplifted by the
sight of a loyal African man who is the descendant of those Africans who earned
a place of honor under the Christian Cross of St. Andrew, who now drags the
Table of Brotherhood that King only could dream about, as standing room only is
posted at the door. God bless you, and please tell the Honorable Attorney
McCallister that I pray that the Briefs against those named officials of the
NAACP who would libel the men of Sons of Confederate Veterans Mechanize Calvary
in Lake City, Florida are brought to fruition soon.
I also pray that Candice Yvonna Hardwick of Latta, South Carolina
will receive a Presidential Pardon. I have been reluctant to ask the Governor of
South Carolina because I don't believe she understands the plight of the
Southern people, and has some strange bed fellows who don't like the South, its
people, or our beloved Southern Cross. I could be wrong, but my rallying cry all
the way to Texas was not only to replace the Plaques , but to ask all that I
would meet on the way to ask for the same for Candice. God bless
you.
