Dear Ms. Lunelle,
And there was Kafi, waving his hand for a request to speak. “Mr. HK, my dad and my granddad escaped Cuba on a rickety boat. My grandday was in the courtroom in Virginia when the Honorable Attorney Kirk D. Lyons was litigating the Dupont Case. And I believe the Judge was as impressed by Mr. Lyons as my grandaddy was because he was on the ‘right path with his take on the birthplace and origin of birth.’”
Kafi went on to say that it all ‘clicked’ for him when his dad told him he had heard a reporter interviewing a man in Enfield, North Carolina who he recognized as sitting next to him on his escape from Castro's Cuba.
This man would tell the reporter how tore up he was every day having to pass all soldiers Cenotaph every morning. But in fact, his birth place of origin was neither in Enfield, North Carolina or America.
Kafi would continue that his dad said “This man on the interview was none other than the Mayor of Enfield who would break the law by bulldozing the Cenotaph, put his account on social media while bragging about what he did; got a free pass from the Attorney General and State Bureau of Investigation who lied that they were investigating to see if a crime was committed.”
So much for the rule of law and equal protection of it. The North Carolina Monument Protection Law has been made a mockery of just like Elizabeth Warren has done to the United States Constitution.
If but for no other reason than this.... the Governor of North Carolina and its Attorney General are undeserving of the offices they hold in this great State. Neither is Warren nor the Generals who are enacting the unconstitutional law which created the Naming Commission.
I would like Ms. Elizabeth Warren to answer this question: “what about the children of the Black Confederates who drew Pensions for their service and are swollen with pride when they walk by an Integrated Confederate Cenotaph or military base carrying the names of their ancestors’ military leaders?

Harrison-Florida, Walter Brooke-Louisiana, W.P. Harris-Texas...........]”
And I pray for the legislative efforts in the Great State of Florida and for the lobbying team working to preserve what’s left of Florida history. The NAACP are Masters at
