Southern Heritage Press Conference Mar. 3, 2004
Ken Waters Report

Photos from the SHPAC press conference at the capitol today, that went over very well with a lot of media coverage. My wife called and said her step father called her while driving back from South Carolina and said he heard heard several SoundBits from the flagger speech carried over the radio on WGST. On WSB's web site they have a video of some of it if you have a fast enough connection. WSB TV gave us very good coverage at the noon hour. KW

Crowd gathers...

Display of Scalawag signs....

William Lathem opening up with a great Winston Churchill quote.......

"This is NOT the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

Commander Bridwell speaking.......

Others speaking were Steve Harris of the SP, and Jim Dean of the GHC, Ray McBerry of the LOS and myself for the flaggers and Gary Spottedwolf who ended his statement with a Indian quote of something similar to, "today is a good day to die". He is suppose to be emailing me the exact quote in the native language.

Several people from this list was present. Got to meet Jay Lawhorn as well.
