We Make State-Wide News in Texas
We’ve made news via “The Texas Tribune” regarding a historical marker that the SCV has been trying to erect on the Texas Capitol grounds. Needless to say (the “Tribune” being the Liberal newspaper it is) the story took a very anti-Southern flavor. That being said, it didn’t go as badly as it might have. We’ve been treated much worse.
The story can be read HERE, and the Texas Historical Commission letter, that is mentioned in the article, can be found HERE.

News on Hardwick and Childress Cases
If you are an SCV member, please thank the GEC for its continued support of the Hardwick case, now on appeal to the 4th Circuit. On a related note, Bazz Childress’ family have elected not to pursue his claim against the Wingate/Wyndham Hotel (and its owner) in Concord, NC
Kirk D. Lyons Interviewed by WSLS TV Roanoke
Today, Scott Leamon of WSLS TV Roanoke (NBC affiliate) interviewed me, over the SLRC’s support of the SCV’s efforts to restore their right to display Confederate flags on city lightpoles during the annual Lee Jackson Holiday weekend in Lexington, Virginia. The interview will air May 15th and we will probably have more to say after that. Our own cameraman filmed the entire interview – so it should be an interesting contrast between what they edit and air and what was actually said.
