Ouch! Ms. Roosevelt visited the Highlander at Monteagle(Swannee)TN. Both law abiding folks and red necked KKKers around there would have been upset that a so-called lady would be that indiscrete.

When the Highlander crowd moved closer to Knoxville, the Bradens joined them. This couple later became infamous when they bought a house in Louisville and then burned the unoccupied house down. They tried to claim the house was to be given to black folks but white neighbors torched the house. Their lies were disproven. This, of course, did not stop the NY media from creating another manufactured news scandal.
