And I assume that Morris Dees lied to the court during all those (so many)
cases he and the SPLC won against such civic minded organizations as the
Aryan Nations and the Klan?

    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.

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.

3. It is not a U of I conference.

4. Having shouted their error on the front page, the Daily News had 

whispered a teeny correction later on. The Statesman must have missed 

it somehow.



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
