Disputed racism by authors Lay and Romo

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]
