Greensboro, N.C. restaurant manager Gilbert Jones...a prominent member
of the Sons...finds himself caught right in the middle.
SOT Gilbert Jones; member, Sons of Confederate Veterans
"I joined because it's a historical organization. Most of the guys
joined for the same reason I did. They're interested in history, their
heritage."

So it pained him, Jones said...to discover that the Sons themselves had
been invaded.
(SOT/Jones )
"I told them it was time to take the Neo-Nazis and the White Supremists
and the Aryan Nation Boys and show their butts to the door. There's just
no room in our group for that.
NARR:
Jones remarks are aimed at this man....Kirk Lyons, who is running for a
top spot in the Sons organization. Lyons has some long ties to racial
extremists...including David Duke...who shared the dias when Lyons had
this to say during a recent speech.
(SOT/Kirk Lyons, SCV candidate)
"We seek nothing more than a return to a Godly, stable, tradition-based
society with no 'Northern-isms' attached to it; a hierarchical society,
a majority European-derived country that will make peace and a fair
accord with all it's non-European derived neighbors."
NARR:
Lyons declined our request to comment on that comment, or his
campaign...while Gilbert Jones called it the code talk of a racist.
(VO/SOT Jones )
"The lunatic fringe is taking over. It gives us a bad image. I don't
want to be associated with that. I can't afford to be associated with
that. My children are members."
(ON CAMERA BRIDGE:)
And so are 32,000 other Americans....many in church, education and
Congress, including Sens. Trent Lott and Jesse Helms. And that makes
this fued more than a fight over just one man's views. It is a fight,
some argue, for control of a platform that has enjoyed national
legitmacy for 106 years.
(SOT/Mark Potok, Southern Poverty Law Center )
"This is seen very much as a prize by the White Supremists right."
SOT/Jones
"I'm sure a lot of people didn't realize what was happening. As
Southeners, we're way too polite."
