The Mid-South Peace and Justice Center has been active in Memphis for nearly 27 years, but finds itself only lately on the receiving end of some decidedly hostile rhetoric. Since the social justice group objected last week to an upcoming (EURO) conference in nearby Olive Branch, Miss., a deluge of verbal brickbats has poured in.

鈥淵ou worthless unintelligent subhuman n----- loving piece of shit,鈥� one man wrote to Jacob Flowers, the group鈥檚 executive director.

EURO was founded by , the onetime Klan leader, Louisiana state representative, and federal prison inmate (he served more than a year after raising money from his followers for the 鈥渃ause鈥� and then using it instead for gambling and remodeling his home). The organization鈥檚 conference is scheduled for Nov. 7-9 at the Whispering Woods Hotel & Conference Center a few miles from Memphis. Two churches that were going to conduct services at the hotel on Sunday have canceled because of Duke鈥檚 group being there. The hotel鈥檚 general manager resigned, and Flowers and his organization began to receive nasty E-mails and phone calls.

Duke wrote on his website that he is the conference organizer, which he will co-host with veteran anti-Semitic activist ; white supremacist website creator and former Alabama Klan boss ; long-time Georgia white supremacist Edward Fields, a convicted church-bombing conspirator; and James Edwards, host of radical-right Memphis radio show The cost to attend is $75 per person or $100 per family 鈥� a 40% discount offered by the hotel, according to Duke. He鈥檚 promising 鈥渘on-stop speeches, music and media presentations.鈥�

Whispering Woods officials said they were unaware of the nature of the conference when a contract was signed. And they said they are legally obligated to honor it. The timing of the general manager鈥檚 resignation was coincidental, they said, and was unrelated to booking the Duke group鈥檚 meeting.

Black鈥檚 website, called Stormfront.org, then posted contact information for the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center and Flowers, who was accused of sparking the manager鈥檚 resignation. That apparently set off the storm of attacks. 鈥淚t is obviously you that is the bigot here,鈥� one man said in an E-mail to Flowers. 鈥淚 hope this group still comes to the area because thanks to you I will be first in line at the door to attend.鈥�

Wrote another: 鈥淚f you can鈥檛 see that you and your ilk are creating two separate societies in this nation you are blind!! I can only pray that the Lord Jesus Christ would take the scales off your eyes!!鈥�

And from a woman: 鈥淚 shall be sure to spend my 鈥榳hite鈥� vacation dollars in a town that doesn鈥檛 discriminate against someone because of skin color. Because of your bigotry, I shall send David Duke $100 to help defray the cost of the conference鈥� . Thanks for opening my eyes as too [sic] HOW bigoted Memphis really is.鈥�

Flowers said the E-mails, phone calls and sentiments some have expressed on the Stormfront website are 鈥渘othing that we鈥檙e worried about.鈥� He鈥檚 most bothered, he said, by the racists鈥� accusations that his organization made harassing calls to the hotel general manager who resigned. That鈥檚 something that a peace-promoting group would not do, he said.
