One of the leading figures in the pro-White movement has departed from this world, leaving us with the task of attempting to carry on the work of saving a civilization before the final bell tolls.
Gordon Lee Baum, one of the founding members of the Council of Conservative Citizens, a stable and logical element in an otherwise overly dramatic and often chaotic Traditionalist/Racialist scene, passed away last Thursday at the age of 74.
Active throughout his life in causes that were always intended to safeguard a proper moral White society for those who come after us, Mr. Baum was not afraid to speak his mind on issues, drawing forth the hatred of those who wish to see us broken down and eventually exterminated, such as the sociopolitical abomination known as the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
The memory of this great man can be best summed up in the words of his own son-in-law, who wrote a touching memoriam piece a couple of days ago.
As many of you are aware by now, my father-in-law, Gordon Lee Baum, Esq., a founder and the present CEO of the Council of Conservative Citizens, passed away last Thursday after a long battle with cancer. He was 74 years old.
…
Gordon was not someone who admitted defeat, who gave up, and that is putting it mildly. Since he was 16-years-old, he spent his entire adult life completely devoted to the cause of our people – literally days before his death, while he recovered from pneumonia, he was telling us to call various CofCC members. Even then, his mind was still focused on the cause. In this way, he reminded me of one of my heroes, the South Carolina fire eater Robert Barnwell Rhett, who once said, “I will keep up the fire, if like a lost hunter in a prairie, I have to kindle it alone, with my gun flint, and watch by the blaze, rifle in hand to keep off the wolves.”
That was my father-in-law in his time: when the Civil Rights of Act of 1964 was passed, when the Citizens’ Councils movement collapsed, when George Wallace, Strom Thurmond, and all the rest repudiated segregation and proclaimed their newfound faith in “racial equality,” when others quit, Gordon Lee Baum stood firm. As the world entered the present Dark Age, Gordon was there to keep up the fire of resistance. Together with other veterans of the Citizens’ Councils, he rebuilt the defunct organization as the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC) in the 1980s, which has remained down to the present day an island of stability in the pro-White movement in the United States.
…
Gordon Lee Baum fought to the end of his life to secure the future existence of his people. One day I will be able to tell my son, which is his grandson, that his grandfather, unlike so many other people, chose to confront this evil for the sake of his future. That’s the example that I want to live up to.
Not wishing to negate the heartfelt emotion in the tribute, nothing more need be said other than the fact that this was a man all of us of European descent should learn to emulate.
Note: Whether one agrees with everything Gordon believed in and fought for or not, please keep the comments section civil on this piece. As Whites, we do not disrespect honorable men and women who have passed on, as it is not part of our genetic or cultural makeup.
