Comment in question Trent Lott and the CofCC Written by iconoclasti , on 31-10-2002 03:23 Date: Thu, October 31, 2002 2:23 am From: iconoclasti@cs.com Subject: Trent Lott and the CofCC Trent Lott's association with the Council of Conservative Citizens goes as far back as his uncle Arnie Watson's organizing of the White Citizens Council of Missisippi that spawned and then raised legal defense funds for Byron de la Beckwith, the assassin of civil rights worker Medgar Evers, in Jackson, Mississippi the early 1960s. Lott has called Watson, a Mississippi statehouse legislator and entirely unrepentent racist, his "favorite uncle." Here are a few dozen news articles documenting Lott's association with the CofCC -- www.ferris.edu/isar/Institut/CCC/homepage.htm Editor: TMA has a page on the Council here: Issues - Council of Conservative Citizens Further, I sent Senator Lott a letter in January of 1999, demanding his resignation for his involvement with the Council.
