I hope that in this Virginia History forum I may invite people to join a
discussion of Virginia history in an online forum called Virginia
Tomorrow. The president speaks Sunday at Hampton University. The posting
at Bob Holsworth's Virginia Tomorrow forum
(http://virginiatomorrow.com/) is headlined "Obama’s Hampton Speech
Could Promote Constructive Revisionism on Slavery and the Civil War:
Historic Venue Closely Linked to Endangered Civil War Treasure, Fort
Monroe." Comments at that site are welcome. Please note that I'm not
advocating any such discussion here in the Virginia History forum,
especially since the topic's coefficient of volatility can sometimes
approach that of the dangerous topic that we now avoid, the topic with
the name that rhymes with Flemings-Hefferson. Thanks.
