<DIV><FONT face=Georgia>The Edgar Killian trial in Philadelphia
Mississippi has brought back a lot of bad memories. Killian, a
KKK member and preacher was the man who planned the killing of three
civil rights workers in Philadelphia 41 years ago tomorrow. As I listened
to the prosecutor's closing argument, I had great hope that things had
changed in that little Mississippi town over the past 41 years.
That was, apparently, a false hope. After just three hours of
deliberation, the jury has declared that they are hung 6-6. Fortunately,
the judge refused to accept that non-verdict and has directed the jury to return
tomorrow for more deliberations.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Georgia>Of course bigotry is not limited to Mississippi as we
have come to know in Moscow. And, speaking of Doug Wilson,
his favorite neo-confederate group, the League of the South, is
discussed on the MSNBC link below.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Georgia>Moscow has its own unique connection with the LOS.
Doug Wilson has invited his close friend, Steve Wilkins, an LOS founding
member (who still sits on the Board of Directors), to once again
visit Moscow as a principal speaker at the Trinity Festival. I
guess Doug can't get enough of that hog fat, corn-pone
twaddle....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Georgia>On a more positive note, please do something to honor
Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and James Chaney tomorrow on the anniversary
of their murders. Speak out loudly and publicly against bigotry and
racism. Challenge the people and institutions who continue to justify it,
right here in our own town. You can be a Freedom Rider without making the
journey to Mississippi - all you need is some backbone and a healthy
dollop of moral outrage. </FONT></DIV>
