A beautiful monument, it honors Jeff Davis for his many many contributions to automobile history,
destroyed! Many many contributions. Very many. A great American. Close personal friend of mine, like Frederick Douglass. He called me last week, you know. Great great American. Very great. Helped write the Declaration of Independence. Oh, and he played at my famous River of Blood golf course. Most people don't know that. But he did.

For the better part of 18 months, treating for stage 4 cancer. I have to say that I have NEVER seen place MORE openly racist in my entire life. The things I was told, called TO MY FACE, is crazy. I decided to look into the history of that state only to find out about it's history and DAMN IT, wouldn't you know it.... ARIZONA saw a HUGE influx of CONFEDERATES in after the Civil War... This DOES NOT surprise me AT ALL! It's the Western version of PRE-civil Rights Bold Faced, A #1, bonified, guaranteed to please, RACIST!!
Our car was pulled over by {{ICE}} and I was questioned by the agent regarding my citizenship. (I'm Black with OBVIOUS signs of mixture-European, Asian & Native American) with my husband, ( He's bohemian Czech whose family have only been in the US since approx. 1900, 9 first language was NOT English BUT Moravian Czech, while some of my family, (on BOTH sides have been here for at least 20K years- HECK, my Andalusian ancestors' landing on the continent PREDATE the pilgrims by at least a century), looked RIGHT PAST him and asked me for my ID... Agent GONZALEZ pissed me off and Bae was PISSED. I refused & saying "REALLY??"
Baby told this man that "HE" was from a family that had only been here for 3 generations while mine has been here FAR longer than Europeans.
That's why this memorial is there
