Robert E. Lee Confederate Statue Removed Under Heavily Armed Guard Before Citizens' Protests & Vote
An Argument For Why Dallas’ Lee Park Statue Should Stay Where It Is
By Glenn Hunter Published in FrontBurner
July 31, 2017

I hope we all agree upfront that slavery was an abomination—America’s “birth defect,” as Condoleezza Rice has put it. But that doesn’t mean the current campaign to remove the Robert E. Lee Memorial statue in Dallas’ Lee Park has any justification. It doesn’t. The Confederate general was hailed universally as an honorable if flawed gentleman for at least 150 years, and his memorial—and his memory—don’t deserve these hysterical, short-sighted attacks. Because, in my opinion, demeaning Lee also demeans the memory of the souls he served with during the tragedy that was the Civil War. Like many North Texans, my forebears were among them.
The woman in the photo above, my father’s mother, grew up dirt-poor in southwestern Arkansas. She and her husband were sharecroppers, the “lowest” of the white people. After my grandfather died at age 42, she married another man who, according to court records in Columbia County, “cursed and abused her” and her three young children and “unmercifully” whipped the children, including my dad. A petition she brought against this man said she had “worked in the field and helped to raise” six bales of cotton, and therefore was entitled to one-half of the proceeds from the cotton sale as part of her settlement.
My grandmother’s father, “D.C.R.,” or Cobe, was 17 in 1861, when, for whatever reason, he joined the Confederate army. His father, Lewis, who was 52, also joined the army that year. They both served in Company C of the 20th Arkansas Infantry until the war ended in 1865. Later, the family received some kind of assistance from the Freedman’s Bureau, which was set up to help freed slaves as well as poor whites. In the 1930s, the U.S. War Department authorized Confederate headstones bearing the inscription of the Confederate Cross of Honor in a small circle on the stone’s front face. So, my grandmother’s brother applied for two headstones to be sent to the Mount Moriah Cemetary in Nevada County, Arkansas. There, they were placed atop the unmarked graves of Cobe and his father.
Proponents of removing historical monuments like the Lee Park statue don’t like to call such acts revising or rewriting history. But, that’s what they are—political correctness, basically, run amok. And, giving in to their “demands” would set a really bad precedent. I’m sure some Mexican-Americans don’t much like what the Alamo stands for, so why let it stand unmolested? Washington and Jefferson were slave owners, so why should the Washington Monument and Monticello escape? Many consider Vietnam to have been an immoral war—young Vietnamese were napalmed, remember—so why not get after the Vietnam Veterans Memorial next. If you think these examples are too outrageous to be considered, think again.
As for the Lee statue, which was dedicated by President Franklin Roosevelt here in 1936, maybe the current detractors could learn from the sober, measured words of another president, who advocated in the late 1890s for federal recognition of Confederate and Union soldiers alike. “Every soldier’s grave made during our unfortunate Civil War is a tribute to American valor,” William McKinley said. “And while, when those graves were made, we differed widely about the future of this government, those differences were long ago settled by the arbitrament of arms … What a glorious future awaits us if united, wisely, and bravely we face the new problems now pressing upon us, determined to solve them for right and humanity.”

How the City of Dallas fails to build new neighborhoods adjacent to old neigjbirhhods
The City of Dallas has no comprehensive plan, requirements, regulations that allow for smooth transition between classic neighborhoods and new neighborhoods. Designing and building new neighborhoods that show respect to the local topography and existing structures via strategic planning, does not exist in Dallas today. It is a hurry up, build, sell and leave format. Quality is not wanted, quantity is.
Dallas man seeks abandoned grave markers' families
A Dallas man who found a stack of grave markers discarded in a random field wants to get them to their rightful owners.
Matt Burt made the disturbing discovery in a grassy area near Jupiter and Interstate 635 in North Dallas. He found the four metal gravesite markers inscribed with names, birth and death dates.
They were all tossed here but they were all face up,” Burt said.
Burt says the police department offered to put them in lost and found, but he declined. He tried doing a basic internet search using the names.
It’s so vague, really couldn't find anything,” Burt said.
The death dates for the markers range from 1979 to 1987. The names: Ola D. Davis, Allen Johnson, James Robertson and Lawrence Bables.
I'm hoping to get them back to the rightful owners, family members and let them put them back where they belong,” Burt said.
FOX4 found a record for one of the names, Lawrence Bables. It’s connected to Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Pleasant Grove. A staff member there confirmed he is buried at the site, but their records show Bables' grave has never had a marker.
The mystery is all-consuming for Burt. He's hanging on to the four heavy name plates in hopes of getting them where they belong.
“Nobody else seems to care,” Burt said.
