SLRC Weekly Update

Dear Heritage Defenders:

This has been a great week for us.  We are facing a deadline on one case.  I have also been taking a lot of fact statements in the state of Arkansas.  Just recently Ouachita County schools have banned Confederate symbols.  The Arkansas SCV is heavily involved and many irate parents have been calling to report incidents.  This has been a busy week for us.

Seven DuPont employees in the Richmond, VA plant are bringing a suit against their employer for the banning of Confederate symbols in the workplace.  Many of these employees are members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and are making a firm stance for their heritage.  We are due to file a complaint on behalf of the employees by May 27^th.  Please consider pledging to help this case in its early stages.

The PCA plant in Tennessee has disallowed employee Steve Turner from displaying Confederate symbols in the workplace.  An EEOC complaint was filed today on Steve’s behalf.  I will keep you posted as details unfold.

I would ask those of you who cherish your heritage and your Southern ancestry to fill out a pledge card and donate frequently to the Southern Legal Resource Center.

For the Cause,

Allison Schaum
