Booker T. Washington, America’s great Black-American Educator wrote in 1910, 'The first white people in America, certainly the first in the South to exhibit their interest in the reaching of the Negro and saving his soul through the medium of the Sunday-school were Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.”

The question should also be why do some people continue to try erasing history? There is a petition drive to change the beautiful historic carving at Stone Mountain Memorial Park near Atlanta, Georgia? See link below of news story from 11 Alive of Atlanta, Georgia including their interview with me. A special thank you to Mr. Dan Coleman who participated in the debate that followed.

Read what I said including, “Like previous campaigns criticizing other Confederate Memorials, he sees the petition to remove the carving of Jefferson, Lee and Jackson as an attack on the truth.”
A on line poll currently shows 95 percent of the people want to keep the Stone Mountain Carving of our heroes Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson as it is.
Let me caution you with this poll that we also won most of the polls for the 1956 Georgia “Soldier’s Memorial flag” our official State flag of Georgia conceived by Judge John Sammons Bells that was unceremoniously taken down in 2001. They did not listen to the people of Georgia back then.
Mississippian’s however were allowed to vote on their 1890s State flag, that also includes the Confederate Battle flag in the design, and they chose to keep it. Georgian’s were allowed to vote on a State flag but their 1956 flag with the Confederate flag it its design, was excluded in the vote. Democracy was at work in Mississippi but not Georgia.
Stone Mountain has been filmed many times including in the 1954 movie “A Man called Peter” starring Richard Todd as Reverend Peter Marshall and Jean Peters as his wife.
Take the time to learn about the South’s President Jefferson Davis, Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. Stonewall Jackson who died 150 years ago on May 10, 1863 and share with your family.
Jefferson and wife Varina Davis adopted a Black child, Jim Limber Davis, in February 1864 and…

Let’s not erase history!

The Kenyan and his commie ‘RAT pals need to bury all American history. Barack Hussein Obama is all the American history that the kids will be taught these days. Ummmm. Ummmm. Ummmm. Shades of the old Third Reich or Soviet Union.
The hatred (irrational though it may be) which fuels this war will not be easily extinguished.
We caught a glimpse of it in Jeremiah Wright's sermons...and we see evidence of it in Obama's policies, actions, and attitudes toward Christianity, Israel, and, indeed, even Winston Churchill, Maggie Thatcher, and the Queen.
The most important thing on the agenda...erase all positive symbols of the enemy.
Erase any memory of him...erase his history...and then erase him.
This is what the TALIBAN do... DIMS IN AMERICA ARE JUST LIKE THE TALIBAN... WANTING TO BLOW UP CARVINGS FROM THE PAST!
LLS
Indeed. Erase our history, our culture, our heroes, our commonality, even our families and race.
It isn't now and never has been about just about the 'evil' south. It is about evil about white Western Culture. The South was easy and now the perfect fulcrum to push for what they have been after all along. The only real question is. Are whites going to lay down and die, go silently into the night? Are we going to allow for the destruction of all that we are?
It isn’t now and never has been about just the ‘evil’ south. It is about evil white Western Culture.
Sorry about that. A few too many abouts.
The carvings on Stone Mountain are in no way any more of a bother, than that cross in the middle of the Mojave Desert!
They are a piece of state history.
I believe the folks wanting to change, or revise, or reconfigure the carvings, have the same idea as the Taliban blowing up 2000 year old Buddha statues in Afghanistan.
“It ain’t what we’re about, so let’s just get rid of it.”
And not just Whites...are people of all colors and ethnic origins who love America and all it stands for going to be railroaded into joining the socialist/Marxist/Muslim agenda.
Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
#22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

"As of May 10, 2010, the cross was no longer in place atop Sunrise Rock. It was stolen on the night of May 9–10, 2010.[8][9][10] National Park Service spokeswoman Linda Slater said a $125,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the thieves. The VFW promised that the memorial will be rebuilt. "This was a legal fight that a vandal just made personal to 50 million veterans, military personnel and their families," said National Commander Thomas J. Tradewell."
The liberals didn't like it, so while the court twiddled its fingers, they simply cut it down. Attempts have been made to rebuild it, but the court ordered the work to stop and anyone attempting to continue would be arrested and jailed. The liberals won. They didn't even need a low court decision to do this.
yes.
i pray 100,000 Christians would swarm this site and rebuild that cross. no way it would not get done.
Sort of like the Taliban blowing up the Budda....these people are crazy. They will probably carve Anderson Cooper there to replace them...this country and half the people in it make me SICK!!!!!!
bigreb always posts his vanities twice.
how about a statue of Booker T. Washington someplace? Where are the KKK now that we need them?
>> This is what the TALIBAN do...
Exactly. Erase the Tali among us.
>> Sort of like the Taliban blowing up the Budda...
Yup. The memorial must be preserved, vigorously.
The idiot DIMocRATs are beyond the pall. Erase all history and praise pinheaded LIBs...hogwash!
I have a real problem with those #s treading in this area.
