Subject: ESPN Airs the Sons of Confederate Veterans on "Outside the Lines" January 14th This Sunday, January 14 at 9:30 AM Eastern, ESPN will air its Emmy-award winning "Outside The Lines". This installment will feature the SCV's call for the NCAA to drop the ban on events in SC and Mississippi. This show was taped in Charleston and other locations, including portions done at Magnolia Cemetery. ESPN reporter Kelly Naqi interviewed SC Div. Cmdr. Randy Burbage, SC Div. Lt. Cmdr. Gene Hogan and Compatriot Glenn McConnell, the President Pro Tem of the SC Senate. Responding to the attention that the SCV press conference gave to the inequity of the ban, ESPN also interviewed officials from Clemson University and the Bi-Lo Center arena in Greenville, South Carolina. This is an important milestone in the FOURTH & GOAL initiative that we began some time ago. Please alert others to the date and time so that we can keep the momentum going in our direction. It is of great importance now as legislatures have reopened for the new year and we seek to engage our elected officials in this debate.
Keeping you informed of events and activities of the Sons of
Confederate Veterans........
Remember our next regular Camp meeting is on January 25th, at 6:30PM at the Masonic Lodge in Summerville. The Charge "To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we submit the vindication of the Cause for which we fought; to your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles he loved and which made him glorious and which you also cherish. Remember, it is your duty to see that the true history of the South is presented to future generations."
