Civil Rights News You Can Use
In the old days, war memorials usually featured a cross. Then one day someone found the time to be offended. In an effort to re-write the history of this country that once saluted its war-dead with the installation of a gigantic cross, the movement is now afoot to eradicate these gestures of national grief. One case in point is the San Diego cross that was originally intended to be a war memorial for Korean War veterans. Read and be amazed ... San Diego cross may provide national legal test.
