The KKK chased me and tried to shoot me - in Southern Illinois -
when I was 6 years old. The KKK said that I was a: “Brained damaged, never
learn to read or write, mixed blood Hillbilly”.
But hey why not keep the Confederate names? I oppose the
Confederate actions BUT why erase them from history???

KKK RALLYING 'THOUSANDS' AFTER MEMPHIS PARKS DROP CONFEDERATE NAMES -
KKK rally

David Edwards reports on Raw Story:
“A Ku Klux Klan leader named Edward, who goes by the title ‘KKK Exalted
Cyclops,’ is promising the ‘largest’ rally in Memphis history after the city
decided to remove Confederate names from three parks.

“In an 9-0 vote on Tuesday night, the Memphis City Council approved temporary
names for three Confederate-themed parks. Forest Park will become ‘Health
Sciences Park,’ Confederate Park will be called ‘Memphis Park’ and Jefferson
Davis Park will get the name ‘Mississippi River Park.’

“On Thursday, the KKK Exalted Cyclops told WMC-TV that his group had started
planning its response before the City Council even voted.

“’You’re going to see the largest rally Memphis, Tennessee has ever seen,’ he
promised.

“‘It’s not going to be 20 or 30, it’s going to be thousands of Klansmen from
the whole United States coming to Memphis, Tennessee.’

“The KKK’s rally is expected to be held in the newly-renamed ‘Health Sciences
Park.’ Confederate Army lieutenant general Nathan Bedford Forrest, for whom the
park was originally named, was elected to the post of KKK grand wizard after
returning from the war.

“The Memphis City Council acted quickly to change the park names because two
state lawmakers have proposed the ‘Tennessee Heritage Protection Act of 2013,’
which would prevent local governments from changing the name of any ‘statue,
monument, memorial, nameplate, plaque, historic flag display, school, street,
bridge,building, park preserve, or reserve which has been erected for, or named
or dedicated in honor of, any historical military figure, historical military
event, military organization, or military unit.’”
