    Hear we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, the mulberry 
bush. Yes. The Southern Poverty Law Center is lying. I know it's hard to 
believe such things about a fat cat group on the other side of the 
country. It's so much easier to believe things about a local.

P.S. Dad, I think you should turn yourself in now. Bill London is onto 
you. He saw right through all those anti-racist things you said. Right 
into your deep, dark, inner aorta.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has exposed the League of the South to be
white supremacist in nature.  Or are they lying, too?

It is truly that simple.

    I am not representing the Daily News, but I think it is clear that 
Doug Wilson and his various buddies are trying to kill the messenger 
since they really do not enjoy the message.
    The message is that Doug has been exposed as clearly and directly 
supporting the abhorrent practice of human slavery.  Wilson has lately 
been stepping carefully away from what he co-wrote in that booklet 
("Southern Slavery: As It Was").  He now says he really meant that 
slavery should have been ended without the Civil War, but the book is 
quite obvious.  Wilson said that human slavery was justified in the 
Bible and justified historically by the wonderfully humane system of 
slavery developed in the South.  Wilson has been exposed writing 
blatantly untrue assessments about the nature of Southern slavery (ask 
any historian).
    Since Wilson is worried about this message getting out, he is 
sending out the troops to attack the Daily News as the messenger. 
    The topic of Wilson's February conference is "Revolution and 
Modernity."  However,  it is accurate for the Daily News to indicate 
that a discussion of Southern slavery will be incorporated into the 
conference.  Wilson and his co-author (Steve Wilkins) from the slavery 
book are both featured speakers.  In previous years, these annual 
conferences sponsored by Wilson's church have included discussions of 
slavery whatever the stated focus of that year's conference.   Wilson 
acknowledged that he expected the topic of slavery to arise at the 
February conference as well.
    I thought the Daily News article was more than fair to Wilson, 
giving him plenty of space to define his views. 
    Looking back at the published article, I was amused to read again 
the subtitle: "Debate, emotions already stirred as preface to February 
conference at UI."   Yup, that about sums it up.

1. The conference is not on slavery. Never has been. The Daily News 
really needs to quit relying on anonymous flyers as part of their 
crackerjack reporting team. The savings in payroll are not really 
worth the embarrassment.
2. No, we are not going to give a defense of slavery at the conference.

I would like to ask Nathan Alford to respond, or someone at the Daily 
News. Who is responsible for misrepresenting our history conference in 
this egregious way? What are you going to do about it?

Cordially,

Douglas Wilson
