"In the Shadow of the Crosses."

Students in the New Mexico State University's (NMSU) Creative Media Institute that is associated with the history and journalism departments produced four short documentaries about local area subjects. The time constraints and experiences did not hamper the quality of the four films. They were shown on 8 December 2008 at the NMSU's Media Center to a packed crowd and likewise on 12 December 2008 at the local historic Fountain Theater in Mesilla.
The particular film I am addressing here was titled "In the Shadow of the Crosses" and was about the Latin crosses of the City of Las Cruces and the civil rights lawsuit against the city. Stevan Vann and his classmate.........produced a very balanced film depicting the plaintiffs, Jewish and Catholic leaders, retired persons, and people on the street.
The only flaw in the movie was a segment where a history professor Jon Hunner read in the background a portion of his version of the source of the crosses and the city's name. This professor is the one cited previously who is an outright fraud with his fakelore, is on the City's payroll as a history consultant, promotes the fictitious history of the city, took $2,500 from the plaintiffs' by way of a court order for his sham expertise, and read in the movie, "the crosses history leads to a historical event." There is absolutely no truth to this statement. All the massacre stories with crosses over the graves are bogus.
In the Las Cruces City Hall reception area across from a picture of God is a plaque that reads, "Here they saw a cross for which Las Cruces was named." If you go to the official U. S. Army's website for the nearby White Sands Missile Range, then look under local Dona Ana County history, you can read another laughable 'miracle' story about "the first European was walking along the trail and found three graves marked with three crosses.........." History records that the first Europeans came from Spain.
In Carroll's exceptional book, "Constantine's Sword," he cites the importance of miracles produced by the Catholic Church in times of need.
