The guest speaker was Todd Kiscaden who provided an update to the work on the Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest monument restoration and security, beautification and enhancement project for the Confederate Circle at Selma's Live Oak Cemetery. Todd showed architectural plans for the memorial circle enhancements as well as the new N.B.Forrest monument. He read four different documents including the Statement of Purpose for the Confederate Circle Project being shepherded by the Friends of Forrest Inc, Pat Godwin's Epitaph on the death of tolerance and honor for our history, heritage and forebears in Selma, his published letter to the editor of the local Selma newspaper which questioned why Selma was allowing terrorists to prevent the permitted construction completion of the Confederate Circle enhancements and finally, a laminated document which was found buried at the Circle proclaiming Jesus as Lord of Selma and commanding that occult practices and rituals cease at the cemetery - an interesting parallel to the anarchist terrorist activities conducted by ignorant heritage haters attempting to block the progress of the Forrest monument restoration and Confederate Circle improvements. Todd shared his horrific story of the construction progress and current work stoppage including being physically assaulted, materials being stolen and vandalized, and racial slurs being thrown incessantly at him and his workers. These criminal acts of vandalism and causing work to be postponed have resulted in tens of thousand dollars of losses to Todd and to local Selma suppliers and laborers - these ignorant militant anarchist black activists led by Rose Sanders and her conspirators including paid demonstrators have illegally prevented the progress on this construction and also affected the local commerce with Selma citizens all in an effort to hinder the improvements at the cemetery to honor our Confederate heritage and forebears and allow access for handicapped visitors. Outrageous! With the police department allowing and promoting this vandalism without providing any resolution or prevention to the continued anarchy and the mayor not providing leadership to complete this permitted project, the issue is now scheduled for legal hearings to secure the deed to the cemetery plot and to secure reimbursement for the loss wages and material costs as well as criminal prosecution for vandalism and destruction of private property. Support is needed for this legal fight - contact the Friends of Forrest for donations and to lend a hand. Many thanks to Todd for this update and for his and the Godwins incredible resolve and patience and restraint in dealing with this criminal element and with the corrupt or inept or cowardly police and city government in Selma.
