A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by Mexican television affiliate - Televisa Noreste. Technically, our cause made it into international news. Davis also said many racist things about Latin Americans. Here's the interview in Spanish: https://www.facebook.com/CastilloDad/videos/vb.34404406/10102180945145585/?type=2&theater ---------- As our cause picks up supporters, we've researched and found out why several Brownsville Historical Association employees and board members want to keep the monument at the park. Here's a little something about the Education and Program Coordinator. What do you think? http://brownsvilleobserver.blogspot.com/2016/02/new-brownsville-blogger-finds-hints-of.html ---------- Here's the man who runs the Old City Cemetery Center: https://gregstake.wordpress.com/2014/12/14/eugene-fernandez/ ---------- As you can see, these people have ties to the Confederacy and completely disregard what the monument represents to those whose ancestors were oppressed and to citizens who believe in equal rights. There are four ways you can help us. 1. Write to the Brownsville Historical Association: http://www.brownsvillehistory.org/contact-us.html 2. Write a letter to the Brownsville Herald: https://brownsvilleherald-dot-com.bloxcms-ny1.com/site/forms/online_services/letter/ 3. Write to the mayor and city commissioners: http://comission.cob.us/ 4. Continue sharing the petition: https://www.change.org/p/mayor-of-the-city-of-brownsville-texas-commissioners-of-the-city-of-brownsville-texas-remove-the-jefferson-davis-memorial Thank you Antonio Castillo
