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. Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 5. #2. To: nolu chan (#0) (Edited) 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.

To: rlk (#2) 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.

Not what you meant, but I can provide another for the thoughtful critic who observed that more information is better. Perhaps the Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln (9 volumes, including the Index volume) could be made available at the Lincoln Memorial. It is considered the gold standard for authentic Lincoln quotes. Also, the Papers of Abraham Lincoln about the Matson case where Lincoln represented a slave owner seeking the return of his slaves. http://www.papersofabrahamlincoln.org/Briefs/briefs47.htm Ashmore for use of Bryant et al. v. Matson (Coles County Circuit Court, October 1847) In 1845, Matson brought five of his slaves, Bryant and her children, into Illinois. In 1847, he planned to take these slaves back to Kentucky. The slaves believed that they were free because Matson brought them to a free state, and they sought refuge with Rutherford and Ashmore. Matson declared that the slaves were runaways, and the sheriff took them into custody and placed them in jail, from which the court would sell them to the highest bidder. Ashmore, on behalf of the slaves, sued for a writ of habeas corpus to free the slaves. Matson retained Lincoln, who used the doctrine of comity to argue that slave owners could use their slaves for labor in Illinois as long as the slaves were in transit. The court ruled that bringing slaves into Illinois was in "contravention of the Constitution of Illinois" and that Matson forfeited all title to the services of Bryant and her children. The court ruled for Ashmore and declared Bryant and her children free. - - - - - - - - - - Lincoln positively said the damnedest things. The elision of the N-word is mine, and not in the original. CW = Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, Roy P Basler, Editor, Rutgers University Press (1953). Volume and page number are indicated. Links go to an online copy but I drew the quotes from my hardcover book copy of the 9-volume edition of the Collected Works.

Amalgamation. CW 2:130 Abraham Lincoln July 6, 1852 HONORS TO HENRY CLAY He did not perceive, that on a question of human right, the negroes were to be excepted from the human race. And yet Mr. Clay was the owner of slaves. Cast into life where slavery was already widely spread and deeply seated, he did not perceive, as I think no wise man has perceived, how it could be at once eradicated, without producing a greater evil, even to the cause of human liberty itself. What exactly is this thing Lincoln called "the White Man's Charter of Freedom?" Was that what the declaration that all men are created free and equal was? CW 2:130 Eulogy on Henry Clay July 6, 1852 HONORS TO HENRY CLAY But I would also, if I could, array his name, opinions, and influence against the opposite extreme—against a few, but an increasing number of men, who, for the sake of perpetuating slavery, are beginning to assail and to ridicule the white-man's charter of freedom—the declaration that "all men are created free and equal.'' - - - - - - - - - - CW 2:276 Speech at Peoria, Illinois October 16, 1854 In our greedy chase to make profit of the negro, let us beware, lest we "cancel and tear to pieces'' even the white man's charter of freedom. - - - - - - - - - - From the famous Last Best Hope of Earth Speech, Annual Message to Congress December 1, 1862 CW 5:534-35 [excerpt] The District has more than one free colored to six whites; and yet, in its frequent petitions to Congress, I believe it has never presented the presence of free colored persons as one of its grievances. But why should emancipation south, send the free people north? People, of any color, seldom run, unless there be something to run from. Heretofore colored people, to some extent, have fled north from bondage; and now, perhaps, from both bondage and destitution. But if gradual emancipation and deportation be adopted, they will have neither to flee from. Their old masters will give them wages at least until new laborers can be procured; and the freed men, in turn, will gladly give their labor for the wages, till new homes can be found for them, in congenial climes, [Page 535] and with people of their own blood and race. This proposition can be trusted on the mutual interests involved. And, in any event, cannot the north decide for itself, whether to receive them? CW 5:537 We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We—even we here—hold the power, and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free—honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best, hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just—a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless. December 1, 1862. ABRAHAM LINCOLN And really, the people should know that when Lincoln spoke of the Last Best Hope of Earth, he spoke of Gradual Emancipation and Deportation. They deserve and need context to acquire the full flavor of Lincoln. Many may not automatically appreciate that Lincoln spoke of freeing slaves in the South that the North could refuse to accept. nolu chan  posted on  2017-08-22   22:51:12 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 5.         There are no replies to Comment # 5.
