A fact from Ladies' Memorial Association appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 March 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that after the American Civil War ended, Ladies' Memorial Associations sprang up all over the South to bury Johnny Reb, build monuments (example pictured) in honor of Confederate soldiers, and propagate the Lost Cause?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/March.

Think about redoing it.--King Bedford I ^{Seek his grace} 20:02, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I stuck in a "according to". Drmies (talk) 00:33, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
