Southaven, TN

Jack at Random Fate issues a smack-down on me and the others who have been bitching about the Republican Senators who refuesed to co-sponsor the Lynching resolution:

I will not insult your intelligence by saying why Whitehaven was named as it was, just outside the city limits of Memphis, Tennessee, in that turbulent era.

Such was the environment in which I was raised.

The year before I graduated high school, signs appeared around town telling of a KKK meeting in the grounds behind the Jaycee building, an intense irony if you know of the mission of the Jaycees.

This isn't to condemn the Jaycees, however. I want to give an indication of the tenor of the times, even in 1980, in a supposedly more enlightened age that supposedly followed in the South upon the heels of the racist 1960s.

There is a South Haven, MI as well, near Lake Michigan. Guy
