This is Bud Kennedys tweet about the scheduled event and its cancellation.

This is the Facebook posting of the Sam Davis Christian Youth Camp - Texas where they announced they were meeting at the Sid Richardson Scout Ranch at the Longhorn Council facility. This is a BSA local division.

Really no one wants the Confederacy. 

No one. 

Confederate monument in Pioneer Park prepared to come down.

It looks like all the preparations have been done to take down the Confederate monument in Pioneer Park. The ramp to bring down the monument and statues is built and some type of structure has been built around two of the monuments.

It isn't clear though when the monument is going to be taken down, but it does look like everything has been done to take it down.

You can watch the progress from this webcam, but whether it will be operable when the monument is being taken down I don't know. It might or might not. This is the City of Dallas' webcam and they might not want people to be viewing as a security measure.

It happens to be the best view of the monumnet since at the location there is a high fence blocking the view.

Dallas Parks have a 11 pm curfew so it might be that the monument will be taken down during the middle of the night. The police could exclude everyone from the park which would keep the public even further back.

Black Lives Matter painted over Marilla St. Black Lives Matter painted over white supremacy

This is what Marilla St. is about.

Currently the words "Black Lives Matter" is being painted in front of Dallas City Hall. The unintended irony is that in painting over this street they symbolically  represent how the Dallas establishment puts a surface of nice feelings over a reality of racism in Dallas.

Ranger Status disappears in a flash/ The power of history.

This really shows the power of history.

D Magazine came out  with this excerpt of an upcoming book. Fairly horrific.

It is in the June 2020 issue of D Magazine.

Suddenly there are these twi articles in the Dallas Morning News.

The 2nd article content was revised during today on 6/4/2020. I was planning to go take pictures but it was gone before the day was out. Originally there were three articles.

So if there is a will there is a way when they want to remove statues.

I purchased the book by Doug J. Swanson.
