On the surface it might seem like an almost bureaucratic detail - a piece of information that helps the government to find you … when it’s time to pay your taxes. But your address can mean a lot more.. Deirdre Mask explores the link between where you are - and who in her book The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power.

Life Gets a Warning Label
Gregory Hood, American Renaissance, January 28, 2021
Rather than report news, many journalists today demand censorship. People can’t be trusted to make up their own minds, so tech companies and media tell us what to think. Antifa will use more forceful methods. This is how things should work in Our Democracy.
Leftists have media power and are not afraid to use it. This means campaigns against things that were innocent just a few years ago.
Gone with the Wind is ranked as one of the greatest movies ever made. Today, if you can find a DVD, it comes with a warning label like the one on cigarettes. It sends you to “IMPORTANT HISTORICAL CONTEXT” at GWTWinfo.wb.com:
Remains of Nathan Bedford Forrest to be moved to Columbia, records show
Remains of Confederate general and wife being relocated from Memphis park By WMC Action News 5 Staff | January 15, 2021 at 1:26 PM CST - Updated January 15 at 10:14 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Plans are moving along to relocate the bodies of Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife from Health Sciences Park.
The removal also includes the pedestal under which the bodies are buried and everything around it a very difficult job.
“It will take quite some intricate planning and disassembly,” said Lee Millar, with the Sons of Confederate Veterans. “We’ll have an archeological architect with us to look at it.”
Relocation costs will be paid by Memphis Greenspace.
The Tennessee Historical Commission was notified of the reinternment, in accordance with state statutes.
Descendants, about five family members in Forrest s and Mary Ann Montgomery Forrest s lineage, have been seeking a final resting spot for Forrest s remains for a few years.
Because no known person has a right or easement to the burial ground, which is now a park, the Shelby County court has jurisdiction in relocating the graves. The November court order also terminates the use of Health Sciences Park as a burial ground.
The descendants named in the suit and Memphis Greenspace agreed to relocate the remains to Columbia in a previous May settlement.
