Disputed racism by authors Lay and Romo

[edit]
  • Lay, Shawn, (1985). - War, Revolution, and the Ku Klux Klan: A Study of Intolerance in a Border City. - Texas Western Press. - ISBN 0874040949
  • Romo, David Dorado, (2005). - Ringside Seat to a Revolution: An Underground Cultural History of El Paso and Juárez: 1893-1923. - Cinco Puntos Press. - ISBN 0938317911
Shawn Lay states that Mayor Tom Lea was a member of the Ku Klux Klan without evidence. Letters to Mr. Lay for proof have gone unanswered. Mr. Romo repeats Lay's allegation, taking it further to mis-characterize Mayor Lea as having a fear of being contaminated by Mexicans. Mayor Lea's second wife, Rosita, was Mexican. Neither book is a reliable source for information on Mayor Tom Lea. - Galleryowner (talk · contribs) - 00:05, 23 July 2008
Well, that doesn't mean you should removed the "reflist" tag from the article. Also, instead of just saying what is NOT, tell us what IS. What books are good sources? Spread positivity, not just negativity. Best O Fortuna (talk) 03:54, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to give a heads up that I removed sections from this article that were not referenced by any sources (see here), per Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Anyone is welcome to add any content back, although sources should be added along with the content as it is added back. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 23:54, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
