Manuscript on the Museum of the Confederacy in the editing phase

I have a publisher for an essay on the Museum of the Confederacy. I have extensive records on the Museum of the Confederacy going back to the early 1990s. When you index the Southern Partisan, it is amazing what you will find you have indexed. Similarly when you have the Confederate Veteran and UDC Magazine indexed.

I am writing it for a major African American website for scholars, activists, intellectuals, etc. They have expressed an interest. There is a lot of material on the Museum of the Confederacy so my essay is over 26,000 words long so the editing is going to take some time. I had planned on just 5-6,000 words, but as I went through my records I really did come across a lot of interesting material.

UPDATE:

The free guest links for all four installments of the article published on Black Commentator are in the blog posting http://newtknight.blogspot.com/2011/11/moc.html

Winter Institute of the Univ. of Mississippi has link to ConfederatePastPresent

If you go to either the main page of the Winter Institute here, http://www.winterinstitute.org and this page also. http://www.winterinstitute.org/pages/academic.htm. I think the website www.confederatepastpresent.org will receive a whole new audience. I will have to get more material online this coming summer after I get a couple writing assignments done.
