The guide was a big, middled aged southern bell with an accent and voice that made my teeth ache. The driver of the bus was a black man. One of the "features" of the tour was a drive by of a statue of Lee. I was astonished how BOTH of them fawned over how much Lee meant to the South.
I don't know if the statue is still there, but I sure hope the pride of having history as slavers dwindles. I would be ashamed to have a monument like that where I lived.

Was this your bus driver?
