H.K. Edgerton & the Resurrection of Dixie
by Ron Holland
The resurrection of pride and a strong defense of
Southern history and limited constitutional government just might rise again
thanks to H.K. Edgerton, a brave, Black Confederate from the most unlikely of
liberal, new-age Mecca’s, Asheville, NC. The rebirth of Southern consciousness
and determination just might be the result of HK Edgerton’s historic 1,300 mile
March Across Dixie in defense of our proud Southern history and heritage!
 Picture
a scene on October 13, 2002, on a Sunday morning on Asheville’s historic Pack
Square. I’m having lunch at a Northern Italian sidewalk café owned by
expatriate New Yorkers on the square surrounded by a mixed crowd of mostly
Northern out-of-state tourists, local tree huggers, granolas, new age freaks,
crystal healers, pagans and homosexuals. Downtown Asheville is like San
Francisco, Greenwich Village, Taos and Sedona all recently moved into a small
Southern city surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. In front of the
restaurant a musician plays the accordion with Celtic and bluegrass tunes and
all of a sudden he strikes up a wonderful rendition of Dixie.
Across the street at the
Vance Monument on the square, a Buddhist type young man stands with his hands in
prayer chanting with a long robe, French Foreign Legion style cap and a wooden
staff that makes him look like the pictures I’ve often seen of Jesus Christ.
Directly behind him on a marker to Robert E. Lee, everyone can see African
American, H.K. Edgerton standing proudly in his worn Confederate uniform holding
our sacred flag with the Cross of St Andrew, as it waves proudly in the brisk
fall wind on the square.
He is flanked on the left by
a beautiful Black woman reading her poem extolling the virtues of the South, our
symbols and the Confederacy while condemning the global elites and conduct of
the American Empire. On the right, is HK’s Brother in Arms, Kirk Lyons, head of
the Southern Legal Resource Center who is often the target of leftist attacks,
PC hatred and personal slander. Earlier, I have joined a mixed crowd of march
supporters who were about 50/50 White and Black singing Dixie to the beat of a
number of African drummers some complete with dreadlocks and Confederate
t-shirts. HK gave a short address, as did the representative of the SCV, and we
prayed together for a safe March Across Dixie for our Confederate Brother in
Arms, H.K. on his long 1,300 mile march through the Southland.
Yes, many establishment
enemies of Dixie would falsely label our Confederate history and heritage as old
South and applaud the diverse mixture of newcomers with their alien ideas,
practices and beliefs now invading our formerly quiet old Southern city. Still,
I accept “the invaders†| |
