ABBEVILLE INSTITUTE
[Press Release]

Friend, 

Last summer 80% of the Washington and Lee University faculty voted to remove Lee from the institution’s name. The school has not yet made a decision but presumably will not wait long. 
 
W&L's Administration has been providing Internet presentations, which we believe are too critical of Lee. Most significant among them during the past five months are lectures by Allen Guelzo and Ty Seidule. The one by Seidule is obnoxious as you can see from this YouTube video he did for the Association of the United States Army earlier this month.  
 
Their accusations should be answered. Therefore, the Abbeville Institute is seeking donations of $7000 to finance the production of a six-minute video by Phil Leigh like the one he did here on Confederate statues. 
 
After watching Seidule’s video linked above we trust you will agree that this is a battle we must fight.
