the "Old South" controversy on the UA campus is flaring again...this time a mostly black sorority wants the University to eliminate the Kappa Alpha annual parade, which paused in front of their house last week. Members dress in confederate costumes, which the Alpha Kappa Alpha members say are reminders of "Old South racism." Stan Diel has details in the Birmingham News. Kappa Alpha was founded immediately after the Civil War. Alpha Kappa Alpha dates to 1908
[UPDATE: May 9, 2009...Frat apologizes.]
