Jefferson Davis Inauguration, SesquiCentennial Event With Parade

It's time to mark your calendar for the SCV Sesquicentennial Event to be held in Montgomery, AL on Saturday February 19, 2011. It starts at 12 Oclock Noon. Be there early to get in position for the parade. This event will feature a parade up Dexter Avenue to the Alabama State Capitol Building, a re-enactment of the swearing in of President Jefferson Davis, and a selection of speakers at the Capitol Building. Just like what was done for the Flag Rally in 2000 in Columbia, South Carolina, and for the CSS Hunley Crew Funeral in Charleston in 2004, it is IMPERATIVE that this event be well attended. We must show the world that we will not permit the History and Heritage of the Confederacy to be forgotten and unobserved during the Sesquicentennial.

It is up to us to see that this history is remembered and portrayed in the correct way, so start planning your visit to Montgomery! While you are here, there is much more to see as well, and all within easy walking distance, or minutes from the Capitol, such as the first White House of the Confederacy, and the military museum in the Alabama Archives across the street from the Capitol building. Come see where secession began, the first Capitol of the Confederacy. Organize vans and buses to facilitate transportation for as many as possible! We will show the world that we remember our Confederate Heroes!
