The link to the article about the Cooke County commissioners refusing to take down a Confederate monment is here.

What is important about this article is that it makes public in a big way the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) practice of praising the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
Also, each photo mentions me as the source so readers know how has this book and also know that I am willing to share information about the book and photos of the book. I will put the same photos at the end of this blog posting.
I can tell you that there has been considerable interest in Texas groups which are working to bring down monuments elsewhere in this material. People are reading the Weatherford paper I wrote with keen interest.

Of course the usefulness of this information isn't limited to Texas. Other people in other states will realize that a history showing the UDC praise for the KKK and saying that the KKK was the great accomplishment of the Confederate solider during the time period when they were putting up Confederate monuments really shows what these monuments are about. People who might want to make excuses for the Confederate monuments won't want to be too close to KKK issues.
I plan on leting them know about the other KKK book endorsed by the UDC.
By the way, the Dallas Observer articles in which I am mentioned by name can be found at the following link:
