ARIZONA HALL OF SHAME
Howdy! I'm Colonel Beauregard T. Justice, and Heritage Violations just chap my hide! What is a Heritage Violation, you say? Many things can be Heritage Violations...attacks on Confederate and other Southern symbols, history, songs, monuments and heritage in the media, by organizations such as the N.A.A.C.P., by businesses, or by private individuals certainly qualify. But also, the misuse of Confederate symbols by hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and other white supremacist groups are heritage violations, as they bring our Confederate heritage into disrepute, and associate it in the public mind with hatred and racism. On this page will be listed Arizona businesses, government agencies, and other entities which discriminate against Americans of Confederate descent, or which promote bigotry against Southern or Confederate heritage, history, symbols, songs, etc. Where possible, contact information will be included.
Back in the old days, I'd take a more direct approach in handling these scoundrels. But times have changed, and instead, I will simply encourage y'all to show them your displeasure by contacting them directly, and if applicable, by not doing business with them.
And remember...
TUCSON MAP & FLAG CENTER Contact Information: Email: mapsmith@mapsmithus.com 3239 NORTH FIRST AVENUE TUCSON, AZ 85719 (520) 887-4234 CHARLES SMITH, MANAGING GEOGRAPHER
It seems that the proprietor of this establishment refuses to sell any Confederate flag, because...to quote an employee..."Only racists buy Confederate flags." Show them your displeasure by not shopping there, and by discouraging anyone else you know from shopping there. Also, it is suggested that you contact them to let them know that you will not be shopping there, and why. Otherwise, you will be just another "invisible" customer of whose loss the store owner will never be aware...and we want them to know that they are losing business because of their bigoted attitude!
THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC The largest newspaper in Arizona, this organization has for many years clearly shown its anti-Southern bias. They freely print anti-Southern/anti-Confederate columns in their Opinion section, then refuse to print rebuttals. And their own resident editorial cartoonist, Steve Benson, has on many occasions made vicious anti-Southern attacks through the medium of his cartoons. No wonder it is not so affectionately known here in Metro Phoenix as "The Repulsive." A link to contact information is included above, but don't hold your breath for a reply.

The music file of YANKEE DOODLE was borrowed from the Midi File Collection by Prairie Frontier. Great, ain't it? Why "Yankee Doodle," you ask? Well, this tune was the music of choice in the Confederate Army when rogues were being drummed out of Camp...what better tune for a page listing Heritage Violators?
