OLUSTEE MONUMENT UPDATE:


Friends,

Here are some news stories about Monday night's public meeting for your review.

What made me the maddest was Michael Farrell of the SUVCW, who told the moderator that when they started the monument project he "didn't know you'd (the State) have to talk to "You People" (meaning anyone else". His seething tone was notable.

Please note there is an error in some of the press reports, i.e. the land was not acquired by the State, it was procured by members of the UDC and then donated to the State.
