Confederate Memorial Day

[video width="320" height="240" mp4="http://keithharrishistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Confederate-Memorial-Day-Los-Angeles-A-Four-Minute-Montage.mp4"][/video] I was going through some Harristorian archival video footage today and came across this: the Confederate Memorial Day commemoration at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.  This is from a couple of years back but the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy hold the ceremony every May. The video (a shade over four minutes) is worth the watch. A few of the participants make some very interesting observations.  By the way, the event is not advertised. According to to one representative, the UDC did not want any unfriendlies attending. I inquired about this (naturally) and she said, "the neighborhood has gotten a little dark...if you know what I mean."

True story. And yes...I knew what she meant.

With compliments,
