    Your Inbox Is Probably Jammed Full of These Emails, but for What It's Worth, I'm Also Lending My Voice

    From: Athena Brown To: Kamp, Jacqueline Subject: Confederate statues Date: Saturday, September 30, 2017 7:40:55 PM Your inbox is probably jammed full of these emails, but for what it's worth, I'm also lending my voice. Please do not allow an Orwellian "memory-hole" to be created. American history needs to be acknowledged -- all parts, good, bad, and the controversial. Please keep all statues and commemorations where they are, and free from vandalizing. From: Jay Willis To: Kamp, Jacqueline Subject: Fwd: Jefferson Davis Highway monuments Date: Monday, October 02, 2017 10:30:15 AM Hello, My name is Jay Willis and I live in Battle Ground. I, like most Americans, am totally against the march to change history by the removal of any historic monuments. What are we becoming, the Taliban? We cannot judge the past actions of the famous but always flawed founders of this nation by the current PC madness. Those were different times and most folks today only have a soundbite taste of propaganda history instead of even looking into all the facts. To appease all the offended, we need to change the name of Washington State and I am sure that there is offensive dirt to be found when researching, Clark, Vancouver or any place and figure in the NW. Historical monuments prompt those truly interested in the facts to delve deeper into history. When you try to change history future generations are not able to learn anything from it, but I suppose that is the point of the current PC madness. The fact that Jefferson Davis lived and had a national highway system installed in order to honor his many accomplishments and to bring reconciliation to the differences between the North and South are facts that should not be hidden.

    Historian Gaines Foster Asserts

    White gloves or White supremacy? The Lost Cause as a Palatable Counter Movement to Civil Rights: The 1964 Erection of the Jefferson Davis Statue in Memphis, Tennessee Anna Lynn Alexander Historian Gaines Foster asserts, The New South of the twentieth century remained a land haunted by the ghosts of the Confederacy. The ghosts had helped make it a conservative, deferential society; they had contributed to an unquestioning patriotism and respect for the military. Sometimes they had supported the cause of reaction. They were not ancestral spirits who exercised constant or crucial influence, however. Rather, they were phantoms called forth from time to time by various people for differing purposes. The ghosts of the Confederacy had shaped the New South, but in the twentieth century they had become too elusive and ephemeral to define its identity.1 Jefferson Davis was one such phantom, summoned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in Memphis, Tennessee and immortalized in an eight foot bronze statue. In 1964, the statue purposefully imposed a proud symbol of Southern heritage and tradition on the heart of downtown Memphis. The basic facts are not debatable: In 1956, Mrs. Harry D. Allen, Vice President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, urged the Memphis chapter of the Children of the Confederacy to begin raising money for a statue of Jefferson Davis. After several years passed without much progress, Mrs. Allen decided to take a more active role and formed the Jefferson Davis Memorial Association. After eight years of fund raising and planning, a statue of Jefferson Davis was unveiled in Confederate Park.

    Jefferson Davis: Froitlpresident to Place-Naitle

    Jefferson Davis: froITlPresident to Place-NaITle PHILIP c. KOLIN THE NAMES OF THE presidents have had a profound effect, political and patriotic, upon our country. H. L. Mencken unerringly states that "Washington, of course, is the most popular of American place- names.,,1 Looking just at the names of American counties, 31 honor George Washington, 26 pay tribute to J efferson,2 and numerous towns and hamlets named for Lincoln dot the map of America. The onomastic influence of one of Lincoln's contemporaries, in fact his rival in office, has not, unfortunately, been studied. Jefferson Davis, the first and only President of the Confederate States of America, has exerted a tremen- dous influence upon names, place and personal, primarily in the south- ern half of the United States. The commemorative useS of his name are part of an interesting cultural and political heritage. This paper will explore the incidence and significance of Jefferson Davis' name for counties, roads, schools, parks, hospitals, and miscellaneous other places and persons. Before turning to these uses of Davis' name, how- ever, I would like to provide an onomastic sketch of the man and his presidency. From birth Jefferson Davis himself was surrounded by names presi- dential. Davis was born June 3, 1808, in Christian County, Kentucky, just nine months after and 80 miles away from the birth of Abraham Lincoln.3 Davis' father, Samuel, was a strong admirer of Jeffersonian ideals and named his son in honor of the famed Virginian president. Elisabeth Cutting speculates that the boy was really named Thomas Jefferson Davis: "It was a departure from their custom [Davis' parents] 1 H.

    The Role of Football in Spain

    THE PHENOMENON OF FÚTBOL IN SPAIN: A STUDY OF FÚTBOL IN SPANISH POLITICS, LITERATURE AND FILM Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Timothy Joseph Ashton, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish & Portuguese The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Samuel Amell, Advisor Ignacio Corona Dionisio Viscarri Copyright by Timothy J. Ashton 2009 Abstract This investigation serves to demonstrate the multifaceted connection that the sport of fútbol has with certain aspects of Spanish society, namely, this cultural phenomenon’s long relationship with Spanish politics, literature and film. Since the formation of Spain’s very first club teams, the sport of fútbol has always demonstrated a strong connection with Spain’s historical socio-political disputes. These disputes have become essential elements in making up the very fabric of Spain and range from questions of nationhood, to questions of identity, culture, politics, ideologies and economy. Throughout this study, I address the dispute that has been taking place between the intellectual classes and the fútboling community and defend that although the relationship between intellectuals and fútbol has not been as public as fútbol’s relationship to politics, it has however existed throughout the entire history of the sport. Many intellectuals have deemed the sport of fútbol as an unsuitable topic for intellectual areas such as literature and artistic mediums like film. In this study, I uncover that some of Spain’s most highly praised literary figures had a passion for the sport which they alluded to, sometimes on numerous occasions, as central themes in their work.

Tuesday, September 5, 2015, 6:00 PM Officer's Row, OO Howard House 650 Anderson St., Vancouver, WA According to Clark County, "the monument itself is not deemed historically significant to Clark County, nor is the life of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War." So, why are monuments listed on the register? Clark County residents demand that the county cease any and all support of these monuments. We demand that they be removed from the registry, and that no public resources are to be used to maintain, support or promote the park, or the monuments. https://www.facebook.com/events/1755033781461078/?active_tab=about 1/1 8/28/2017 Confederate monuments in Ridgefield defaced | The Columbian Confederate monuments in Ridgefield defaced (http://16749-presscdn-0-94.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/1000367840-clark-asks- flag_02-1024x726.jpg) Jefferson Davis highway markers were vandalized at Jefferson Davis Park in Ridgefield, seen Friday afternoon.
