This is a case of "gone but not forgotten". Nod to a repulsive time in history ~

Thanks for the visit and the comment, Line. Guess I hadn't realized that there's more than one way to be 'remembered.' Joy and Light, Gershon

If the shoe fits, wear it. You "nailed" it.

He may not be missed by 'Progressives,' but perhaps his family and even some of his slaves miss him. Anyway, defacing someone's grave is hitting someone who can't defend himself. I don't think that's fair. Better to just to look and move on...
