KKK Rally Over Renaming Of Parks In Memphis Draws Opposition From Sons of Confederate Veterans

...The KKK applied for a permit to hold a March 30 rally in opposition to the renaming of three parks -- Nathan Bedford Forrest Park, Confederate Park and Jefferson Davis Park. The Tennessee leader of the KKK reportedly told Action News 5 the gathering would be "the largest rally Memphis, Tennessee has ever seen."

...Despite his opposition to the KKK rally, Millar said he agreed the park names should be left alone.

"These are 100 year old historic parks," Millar said. "They need to leave the names alone. By changing them, they're bringing a lot of rage among the citizens of Memphis and drawing personal attention and negative attention to Memphis trying to erase history."
Uproar over the renaming of parks began in Feb. 2012. The AP reported earlier:
The statue of Confederate fighter Nathan Bedford Forrest astride a horse towers above the Memphis park bearing his name. It's a larger-than-life tribute to the warrior still admired by many for fiercely defending the South in the Civil War – and scorned by others for a slave-trading past and ties to the Ku Klux Klan.
Though the bloodiest war on American soil was fought 150 years ago, racially tinged discord flared before its City Council voted this week to strip Forrest's name from the downtown park and call it Health Sciences Park. It also voted to rename Confederate Park as Memphis Park and Jefferson Davis Park as Mississippi River Park.
 
Brothers in Tennesee must be soft. The last time they tried that in a Michigan city, they were run out, cowering in fear. It took some good negros to save their lives, in fact. IJS

Reading is fundamental, a thing you aren't very good at:


WMC-TV reported on Friday that pedestrian, commercial and auto traffic will be diverted around the area surrounding the Shelby County courthouse, where the rally is scheduled to be held.
The only people allowed inside will be klan members and participants in an opposing rally organized by a local civic group, Power to the People, and all of them will have to go through a security checkpoint.

You've lost what little credibility you had with me:


In 1991, a black teenager from Benton Harbor was found dead in Saint Joseph, resulting in accusations from both sides. In 1998, the Ku Klux Klanparaded at the county courthouse in Saint Joseph, with more police at the march than spectators.
Events came to a climax on June 16, 2003. Benton Harbor residentTerrance Shurn was killed after he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a building. This occurred while Benton Township police were chasing him. Shurn was black, and the police that were chasing him were white.
