Dear Johnny Reb: An argument against Confederate memorialsPhilip ScarboroughUSA, 00:07:45, Rating: All AgesThis film is an expression of a thought and a desire by Mississippi filmmaker Philip Scarborough along with 42 fellow Mississippians (NOT ACTORS, real native Mississippians), who have crafted a letter to the Confederate "sentinels" looming over courthouse lawns and public parks across their state.
