What Has South Carolina Learned Since the Centennial-- Part 2

Of course, the hotel refused to accommodate her.  The NAACP and national media jumped in and an obscure commission became a national incident.  It even reached the White House where the Kennedy staff moved the meeting from the hotel to the desegregated Charleston Navy Yard.

Some Southern delegates then seceded from the convention and held their own.

Accordingly, the events of the last two weeks in Charleston with the secession commemoration might be a glimpse of what was going to happen the next four years from 2011 to 2015.

I am glad to see that the NAACP and black activists have backed off on the sesquicentennial considerably and allowing it to take place without incident other than the continued attacks on the Confederate Naval Jack.

Worthy of Commemoration.  --Old Secesh
