What we need to do to fight neo-Confederacy podcast.

Though Confederate monuments are coming down, it is largely outside the former Confederate states where there are the most Confederate monuments. Many former Confederate states have passed laws to prevent Confederate monuments from being removed. This podcast discusses what we need to do to remove Confederate monuments. We need to organize, we need to develop tactics, we need to self-educate and educate others. We have the Facebook page Deracialize the Landscape to connect activists together.



Again sharring podcasts or VLOGS and Facebook postings to others gets the word out. Liking is okay, but it doesn't inform others.

Article on how revolting Mirabeau Lamar was.

I am planning to help out with the renaming of Lamar St. to Botham street. I have been studying street name chaning in Dallas, the history, and the municipal code.

This is a good short summary article about Mirabeau Lamar. He is really dreadful. Historians are aghast at him and say "he was the worst." I am going to start compling a history on him.

I have emailed the author of the article, but I have also done my own research. I hope to have additional information about Mirabeau Lamar in this blog.

The Lamar Street webpage is created so as we accumulate information on Lamar we will have it online on this page. http://templeofdemocracy.com/lamar-street.html
