RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH REPORTS ON PROTESTS OF THE HILTON HOTEL HOSTING THE SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERAS (SCV)
They omitted the Museum of the Confederacy protest, but I am quoted a couple times as an expert so media knows who to contact, and one issue about the SCV and race comes up.

The article does mention that I am the author of some books, but also questions the term "neo-Confederate."
The important thing is that people know there are protests going on. That there is an investigative researcher of the neo-Confederates and they learn there is a term "neo-Confederates" and they learn I am going to be going to Richmond.
One thing I learned is that my letter writing campaign along with recent events has been successful in preventing the SCV to get a church for their Friday memorial service, but I don't know still if they got a church for the Sunday service.
One thing you learn is that tax money went to bring the SCV to Richmond. I already have let people in Richmond know about this, but I suppose that everyone knows now.
