Sabers and Roses Ball sparks debate on Frederick heritage
G Elliott Cummings condemns what he calls a bias driven attack on Confederate history in Frederick last month. He recounts protests over the Sabers and Roses Ball renamed by mayor James Grimes amid pressure from groups led by Concerned Citizens for Racial Justice and Peace Resource Center. Cummings notes attendance by Confederate reenactors and a subsequent parade win by the SCV color guard, urging defense of Southern symbols and warning Grimes of continued pushback. He identifies as Maryland Division commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
