Congrats to Joshua P Stover (AL) on his SCV Nathan Bedford Forrest Meritorious award for his years long grift called Monuments Across Dixie (MAD). Stover, a teacher & asst headmaster in Selma AL, commissions his products from China & they tend to go to spaces controlled by SCV. 
Remember this Holmes statue going to the @NCDivisionSCV’s Headquarters, aka the Oak Grove Plantation in Dunn? That’s a MonumentsAcrossDixie statue of Lt General Holmes.
Stover is AL SCV leadership and hs bn since 2018. One of his presentations addressed recruiting more white people (“legacy caucasian Southerners”) by targeting children, either w/ school programs or volunteering at summer camps. His current title is SW Central Brigade Commander.
Stover started MonumentsAcrossDixie after joining the AL @SCVDragoons Camp #1524 in 2017. His basic statue is modeled after his CSA ancestor Thomas J Roberts. He charges ~$4K for it.
FL SCV Camp #1921 bought one & discovered heat will make 1400 lbs of marble shatter.

Stover used to advertise his statue efforts personally on FB via “Joshua Stover” or w/ his “Thomas Roberts” alt. He hs commented on MonumentsAcrossDixie pg both as pg admin & w/ his personal acct.
The fact that MAD is Stover’s is not unknown; it just wasn’t widely known.

Joshua Stover, Monuments Across Dixie, teaches at Meadowview Christian @MCS_trojans in Selma. Ironically, he does not teach History. archive.is/jUOkF
He’s also active in Reopen AL & started the Reopen Selma AL FB grp. He flew the AL Secessionist flag at a Reopen rally.

The MonumentsAcrossDixie blog used to have photos of the first shipment Stover & friends received. The web domain was recently purchased and the site was restructured & redesigned (poorly, imo). But they do most of their promotion on FB, so the blog might be low priority rn.
Stover doesn’t tell people how much his products cost or where they will go; ppl have to DM the MAD pg. He’s having a hard time raising $$, thou, & now that statues are falling all over the country, he’s started a Buy (a personalized) Brick Paver, Fund A Monument fundraiser.
In their July 2018 publication, the AL SCV bragged abt personalized brick pavers at one of their memorial sites. In that same publication, the AL SCV endorsed and campaigned for Stover's MonumentsAcrossDixie.
MonumentsAcrossDixie commissions marble statues, bronze statues, plinths, and headstones, which are made to duplicate those typically placed by Veterans Affairs. The VA has refused to accept MAD’s headstones.
Recent efforts to add content to MAD pg include streaming a first person shooter video game, which, given the climate of extremists livestreaming murders AND armed “defenders” at monuments, is quite a choice.
Unknown if the young person playing is a Stover kid.

Stover hs also introduced a new admin asst: GA SCV member Nick Cammaroto, who seems to have admin control on the Monuments Across Dixie FB pg & blog. Cammaroto says things like LOS & KKK & racism are / hv bn ejected from SCV spaces, which is just false.
Cammaroto, like all Confederate advocates, asserts that primary sources are sacrosanct, anything else is political manipulation, and says things that tl;dr assert that as a Patriotic American, he is above reproach. However, ..
.. (broken record) there are primary sources that detail how Confederate monuments represent oppression, occupation, and omnipotent white supremacy, whether by ppl who erected and dedicated the monuments or by the ppl who endured them. ..
.. Everything is political; to argue otherwise is a single minded avenue upholding status quo, which is inherently white supremacist. Dismissing what the monuments mean to some ppl while uplifting what they mean to others underscores one’s own political agenda. (/broken record)
