Compatriots:
I wrote to you the other day about the VMFA situation, but as you know, there are great problems in Memphis
-- specifically, renaming of parks as a means of demeaning our Confederate heroes. Our men there have a legal defense fund, also. Their information follows my message.
Note: Alabama Division checked in quickly w/ a donation on the VMFA issue.
PLEASE CONSIDER BOTH OF THESE BATTLES. THIS IS AS SIMPLE AS IT GETS
-- 1) PROTECTING THE PRESERVATION OF OUR ANCESTORS' NAMES THROUGH PRESERVING MONUMENTS and
2) PROTECTING OUR ABILITY TO PROCLAIM THEIR HISTORY IN PUBLIC.

The SCV & UDC members of the Memphis area call on you for help. Last week, in an act of lunacy, the Memphis City Council vioted to rename our 3 Southern parks in Memphis.
Forrest Park will become Health Sciences Park.
Confederate Park will become Memphis Park.
And Jefferson Davis Park will become Mississippi River Park.
OUR CONFEDERATE HERITAGE IS BEING ERASED.
We plan legal action against the City of Memphis to stop this brazen attempt to eradicate our heritage. We desperately need the help of all of our SCV and UDC members and friends from all across the country and the worl
