History See other History Articles Title: Montgomery (Ala.) Police Chief Unveils New Book at Southern Patriot Rally By Olaf Childress Fall Muster, the annual gathering of Southern patriots at Marbury Confederate Memorial Park, located 25 miles north of Alabama’s state capital, is an event the liberal media pointedly ignores. Some 200 activists looking to recover constitutional government gathered there again on Oct. 7, 2006 for another day of blissfully celebrating what the media apparatchiks in their ignorance miss. The holiday started as usual with prayers and tributes to 300 Confederate veterans buried opposite the campgrounds from what the uninitiated would call a “Civil War” museum — here it’s called the War of Northern Aggression. The featured speaker was better positioned than any biased reporter to know what actually happened when Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Harry Belafonte and all those media-lionized “Freedom Riders” hit Montgomery thinking to take over Alabama’s capital. At the podium, Drue Lackey, 80, introduced his new book, Another View of the Civil Rights Movement. A veteran of South Pacific action in the Marines and an FBI National Academy grad, Lackey earned his police administration degree at Northwestern University, received his law degree from the prestigious Jones Law School of Alabama and retired from the Montgomery Police Department as chief in 1970. Lackey gave evidence of Justice Department sponsorship of the “Freedom Riders.” In 1955, he explained, two separate arrests of black women defying Montgomery’s bus laws went unnoticed by the forces then gearing up. No simple seamstress as the “news” had it at the time, but jailed later that year on cue and according to plan for the same offense, was the secretary of the Montgomery NAACP chapter, Rosa Parks. Lackey was the officer fingerprinting Miss Parks in the famous photograph. The sloppy mainstream media at various times have identified Lackey as an FBI agent or deputy sheriff. In fact, he clashed with local deputies over their inclinations toward “Bull” Connor’s tactics, instilling discipline in his men and keeping them restrained even when the bricks, bottles, spit and taunts flew fast. He knew communists were behind those provocations, and “news” photographers stood poised for any police overreaction. “The demonstrators said they would fill our jails full, and after the jails were full we couldn’t make any more arrests,” laughed Lackey. “What they didn’t know was that we had reactivated the old jail and made arrangements with the State Board of Corrections to use the trustee barracks at Kilby Prison, then vacant.” The Selma-to-Montgomery March arrived around 4 p.m. on March 24, 1965. Its performers had permission from those in charge of St. Jude’s to camp on their grounds that night, so the Montgomery police set up security there with the National Guard. What then transpired had become a four-day habit on the way from Selma: protesters arrived in the quiet city from around the world after being promised all the alcohol and women they wanted. This outrage would continue during the following days on front lawns or anywhere demonstrators chose to flop. “They were sleeping on the ground, and there was a lot of sexual activity going on that night,” Lackey said. “We could see them, and this went on most of the night. This is what the federal government was sponsoring—a group of communists and moral degenerates.” Lackey added, “Congress had all of this information about King being a womanizer, a traitor to his country, a liar, a cheater and of inciting riots all over the United States, as well as his association with the Communist Party. The spineless Congress passed a bill approving the observation of the King holiday. This holiday needs to be repealed.” Lackey’s 244-page just-released book, Another View of the Civil Rights Movement, can be had by sending $15 plus $4.95 S&H to D&P Associates, PO Box 241114, Montgomery, Al. 36124. It isn’t elegantly written, but you won’t finish this one thinking you’ve been lied to as usual.
