SCV REACTION TO THE MUSEUM OF THE CONFEDERACY

Commander Frank Earnest of the Virginia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans will hold a press conference on Monday, February 26, 2007, beginning at 11am at the Confederate Memorial Chapel located behind the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts at 2900 Grove Avenue, Richmond, Virginia.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans are alarmed that the Museum of the Confederacy would consider changing its 111 year old historical name or ponder relocation to areas other than Richmond.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans are alarmed at the downward spiral of the Museum which has accelerated under the directorship of S.Waite Rawls and the board chaired by Carlton Moffatt. It is now time for a change in leadership and direction to preserve this important educational institution in its traditional home, Richmond, Virginia, the Capital of the Confederacy.

THE SCV WILL MAKE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE MUSEUM OF THE CONFEDERACY AT THIS PRESS BRIEFING.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans is an international organization of nearly 35000 members with over 4000 residing in Virginia. The SCV is the largest hereditary organization of descendents of Confederate soldiers in the United States
