New Orleans: Confederate Memorial Hall Update




Sam Hood, who is a member of the board of directors of Confederate Memorial Hall, sends us the following news: He has spoken to Mrs. Pat Ricci, curator of the hall. She reports that as of yesterday (Aug. 31) the museum is apparently not flooded.

A major concern remains security. His reports indicate that the National D-Day museum directly across the street from the Confederate Museum has been "gutted and trashed by looters."

Sadly, we are informed that the homes of every member of the Museum's staff are under water. The entire staff is now homeless and will have nothing to return to. Sam informed Mrs. Ricci of the efforts of all the readers of this site to inform the Civil War community of their plight and she has asked that all of you be thanked.

More updates will be posted as they become available

Another sad story resulting at least in part from the great LA Governor Blanco's decision not to make the restoring of order in New Orleans a first level priority.

Thanks of course to all the looters who took the items from the museum because, like the booze and ho-hos that they took took from the liquor stores, were necessary for survival. They must have been inspired by the looters of the museums in Iraq.
