The Sons of Confederate Veterans is not a hate group. The California
Division of SCV does not knowingly allow anyone
with ties to hate groups to join and has removed, and will remove, anyone
from its ranks who expresses racist sentiments. Specifically,
the following is not allowed and will be grounds for immediate dismissal:
Attempting to recruit fellow SCV members for racist groups like
the Ku Klux Klan or the National Alliance;
Disseminating Klan or racist literature to fellow SCV members, either through
mailings or in person.
ALL MEMBERS MUST BE AWARE OF THESE RESTRICTIONS, AS THEY
WILL BE RIGOROUSLY ENFORCED.
Loving the South and defending its culture, symbols and heritage does
not mean hate. In fact, many SCV members are descendants of
African-American, Catholic, Jewish, Native American, Hispanic and Asian
Confederates. These groups' contributions to Southern culture have made it a
beautiful and unique region. To deny their descendants membership in our
organization would betray our principles and the very ancestors we honor. We
welcome all descendants of Confederate soldiers, sailors, and marines or
those who materially aided the South in its struggle for independence.
