Jefferson Memorial update will acknowledge slave owner record

Aug 21st 2017 1:52PM

Thomas Jefferson’s memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. is getting an update to include that he was a slave owner.

The Trust for the National Mall, which is dedicated to restoring, improving and preserving the National Mall, said they will update the third president’s exhibit amid a national debate on the status of over 1,500 Confederate monuments following the Charlottesville tragedy concerning a statue of Robert E. Lee.

Jefferson Memorial update will acknowledge slave owner record

That ought to be suffcient to provoke a leftist demand for its destruction within the present climate of hysteria. Good thinking!

I saw a talking head today voice approval for the Jefferson plaque on the basis that more information is always good. To show my sympathy for the cause of providing extra truthful information at memorials, I supportively offer the proposal that a plaque may be in order at the memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to show that,

  • his birth name, Michael King, was never changed

  • he plagiarized his doctoral thesis

Perhaps in addition to a plaque entry, there could be an audio listening area of the FBI tapes with the married minister bumping uglies in various motel rooms.

And there is the end of the I Have a Dream speech, vaguely similar to a prior oration of Archibald Carey:

[Carey, 1952]

We, Negro Americans, sing with all loyal Americans:

My country ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the Pilgrim’s pride
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!

That’s exactly what we mean — from every mountain side, let freedom ring. Not only from the Green Mountains and White Mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire; not only from the Catskills of New York; but from the Ozarks in Arkansas, from the Stone Mountain in Georgia, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia — let it ring not only for the minorities of the United States, but for … the disinherited of all the earth — may the Republican Party, under God, from every mountainside, LET FREEDOM RING!

[King, 1963]

This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning:

My country ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the Pilgrim’s pride
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!

So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire!
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York!
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi!
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

And they might as well note that the tune of My Country Tis of Thee is the British national anthem, God Save the Queen, or King as it may be.
