SLRC Weekly Update

Dear Compatriots:

Greetings to everyone!  What a hot week!  It's blazing here in the South and things are just as hot for the Southern Legal Resource Center.  As usual, Kirk has been busy taking care of business.  Here is what has been happening this week.

Castorina

We are waiting to hear from the defendants regarding our settlement proposal.  We are asking for attorney's fees, a change in school policy and an apology to Tim Castorina.  If we cannot agree on this we will go to trial on September 11, 2001.

We filed a witness list in this case this week.  We should begin taking depositions in September.  We will keep you posted as details unfold.

We should begin taking depositions in this case during the month of December.  Stay tuned.

Confederate Autumn:  A March Through Dixie

H.K. Edgerton will carry a Confederate Flag from the Vance Monument in Asheville, NC to the Texas Supreme Court Building in Austin, TX....on foot.  He plans on leaving Monday, October 14, 2002 and will arrive on Robert E. Lee's birthday on January 19, 2003.  From there H.K. will march to the Hays High School Stadium in Buda, TX (an additional 30 miles.)  H.K.'s goal is to raise 2 million dollars in Heritage money for the SLRC and for the SCV Heritage Defense.  The SLRC will be accepting pledges in any amount for the trip.  Supporters may wish to pledge at least $1 per mile for a certain leg of the journey or hopefully the whole 1500 mile journey.  Planning is well under way and we will report further details and are finishing up an informational web site.
