THE ISSUE OF CROSS BURNING IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF THE U-S SUPREME

BURNING.

CLARENCE THOMAS CALLED CROSS BURNING PART OF "100 YEARS OF LYNCHING IN
THE SOUTH."
Jerry Kilgore/Virginia Attorney General
We have said over and over again that burning the cross more than any other burning symbol brings intimidation to bear.
OPPOSING LAWYERS SAY IT'S WRONG FOR A STATE TO DECIDE WHICH SYMBOLS ARE
INTIMIDATING....AND IN THIS CASE...CRIMINAL.
Rodney Smolla/University of Richmond Law School
"If you can pick one symbol out, you can pick other symbols and if you can pick out symbols, you can pick out words and that is the wrong road to go down in free society"
STACY CASE/REPORTING
this is where it all started, here in Cana, Virginia, back in 1998.
From her house, a woman looked across a field to see men in hoods
burning a cross. Even though she's white, she testified--- she feared
for her family.
HER TESTIMONY SENT ONE KLAN MEMBER TO JAIL.
IN THIS QUIET MOUNTAIN TOWN, MANY PEOPLE FLY THE CONFEDERATE FLAG PROUDLY.
EVEN THOSE WHO SAY THEY DON'T CONDONE CROSS-BURNING STILL CONSIDER IT A
SYMBOL OF FREE SPEECH.

Burrow is accused of misrepresenting the Memorial's finances in order to get bank loans and state grants that helped complete the monument before its dedication in June of 2001.
Members of the foundation's board of directors testified today they knew nothing about the project's money troubles until it was already deep in debt.
They say Burrow maintained that outstanding pledges would make up for the shortfall. Most of those pledges never materialized.
The D-Day foundation is currently about four million dollars in debt and has sought bankruptcy protection.
