Rock ‘N Bowl, a bowling alley on Carrollton Avenue, will be hosting a fundraiser for the Monumental Task Committee and the Beauregard Monument Association this January. These two organizations have for years been at the forefront of defending the city’s white supremacist monuments. They openly glorify figures like P. G. T. Beauregard or Robert E. Lee, who fought to defend the South’s brutal plantation slavery regime. The Monumental Task Committee openly brags on its website that it’s polished the Henry Clay and Jefferson Davis monuments. It can’t be easy for them to defend against the accusation of being white supremacists while they’re so busy licking slave-owners’ boots.
Rock ‘N Bowl is donating its parking, lunch, bowling, and bar funds to these organizations. This isn’t the first time either—Rock ‘N Bowl organized a fundraiser in March of last year for the same cause. The mask is off, this mom and pop shop is complicit in these organizations’ white supremacy.
