a FALSE source is WORSE than NO source, as it DECEIVES the reader.
Then it's incumbent on you to prove that the sources (all three of them) are false. You simply stamping your little feet and saying it's not so carries no weight.
"i would be pleased if we did. then southern schools could require REBEL GRAY for all students."
I have more to be concerned with than someone's view of the confederacy.
There's too much happening today to be stuck in yesteryear.
HOW do YOU explain the MISSING UNION BANNER???? (just became "invisible" i guess, huh???)
btw, were YOU in Memphis that GRAND day??? i WAS & i MARCHED!

freedom for dixie NOW is what's important, unless/until the DAMNyankee HATERS, out of the "blue zone" & "LEFT coast" decide to "tend to their own business" & stay OUT of our schools, homes, businesses, personal affairs & our LIVES.
we just want them to GO AWAY & leave us ALONE!

The same way I explain the missing Confederate flag and the missing herd of elephants. They weren't there. What was there were men holding placards saying "I AM A MAN," which can be seen in the photo on the book cover and in many other photos of the strike, as well as in the display on the strike at the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.
How do you explain that you claim (in Post #411) that the Memphis garbagemen's march was in 1966 and not 1968, as every other source has it? Maybe it's you that's thinking of some other march.
What I don't care about is what someone's great-great-great grand daddy did.
Stop living in the 19th century.
free dixie,
It was freed-1865.

ONE of the MANY problems of the "blue zone" is that those folks seem to care about NONE of those things. that's why more & more southerners every day that passes just want OUT of the "unequally yoked together" situation with the HATE-filled, arrogant, LEFTIST north.
just think if we eventually get dixie FREEDOM the north can have the LEFTIST, secular,godLESS, ARROGANT, south-HATING country that you folks seem to want & we won't CARE as you'll be across the international border & can damn us to your heart's content.
EVERYONE would be MUCH happier!
free dixie,sw
well you're good for SOMETHING anyway. you can be our freerepublic.com OFFICIAL "semi-smart" spell-checker!
as for the rest of your usual mindLESS ignorant, arrogant,sanctimonious,BILGE, i ask you again, were you THERE on that GRAND day. i WAS! and so was the CSA flag AND the HUGE UNION BANNER.
TO ALL: see, everyone, even DUNCES, have a FUNCTION sometimes!
free dixie,sw
I was seven at the time, so no.
i WAS! and so was the CSA flag AND the HUGE UNION BANNER.
I'll take your word for the first (although given your track record, I don't know why). As for the latter two, barring some evidence to the contrary, I'll take what the photos show over what you say.
So, do you have any explanation for why the "I AM A MAN" placard that was the slogan of the Memphis strike is in the background of the photos I've presented?
there WERE lots of "I AM A MAN" signs at BOTH the picket-line AND at the MARCH.

Actually the march in which Rev. King participated was more or less in the middle of the strike, on March 28. It's interesting that you describe it as a "glorious day," since the march devolved into violence, with window breaking, riot police, tear gas, 280 arrests, and a 16 year old boy shot to death by police. Rev. King was hustled away from the scene. The disaster of that march led to King's decision to cancel his planned trip to Africa and return to Memphis on April 3, when he gave the "Mountaintop" speech. The next day he was assassinated.
as to the rest, there are COSTS to every human activity, which cannot be predicted. IF all we did was worry about that sort of thing, there would be NO PROGRESS at all.
fyi, you sound like a DIMocRAT stooge (who piteously complains that people get KILLED in wars! imagine that! WOW! what a SURPRISE!), which i'm NOT sure that you aren't.
btw, WHICH banned "banned DY" are you???? you have a LOT of things in common with "jaguaretype".
