Oakwood Cemetery Raleigh, NC Confederate Memorial May 4, 2013
These pictures were taken at Oakwood Cemetery. The reenactment of the Civil War was fantastic. The uniforms and reenactors were realistic. They kept in character during the whole presentation. The cannon and gun fire thundered through the city as reminder of the many soldiers that have fallen. Some of the pictures were enhanced to look antiqued. I enjoyed putting this little video together. I was also born and raised a Catholic southerner and I will never forget my heritage.

Kenneth Dexter Randolph Jr. Funeral (Oakwood Cemetery)
Kenneth Dexter Randolph, Jr., 29, died on October 8, 2019 in Tochigi, Japan while visiting his brother. Dexter is survived by his mother, Kim Shavlik Randolph; his father, Kenny Randolph; his brother, Shavlik Randolph; his sister, Senna Randolph; his grandmother, Beverly Shavlik (“Gigi”); his uncle, Dean Shavlik (Barrie); his cousins, Jane Barrett and Becca Shavlik all of Raleigh, NC. He is also survived by his uncle, Craig Randolph (Tanya) of Ft. Lauderdale, FL; and his beloved black lab “Lindsay.
Dexter is predeceased by his grandfathers, Ronnie Shavlik and Eddie Randolph; his grandmother, JoAnn Padgett Randolph, and his uncle, Rick Randolph.
Dexter was born in Raleigh, NC on January 13, 1990. He grew up in Raleigh and attended Root Elementary, Daniels Middle School, and Broughton High School, Class of 2008. He played Varsity Basketball and Lacrosse at Broughton and was a member of the student council.
Dexter graduated from North Carolina State University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sport Management and a Minor Degree in Music. While at N. C. State, he was a member of the SAE fraternity and also the University Jazz Band where he played bass guitar. During his senior year he was awarded an internship at Live Nation. He worked for Live Nation after graduating from N.C. State. Playing the guitar and writing music was his PASSION, his heart and his soul. Rarely did he go anywhere without his beloved guitar. He was a talented musician and some of his favorite music memories start with the early days, live at Crowley’s, to open mics around town, to moving to Nashville, TN, and even being a featured artist on the YouTube channel, Jam in the Van.
Dexter was his happiest when he was traveling with his brother “Shav”. He traveled the world with him. He was “one of a kind” and loved others with a compassionate heart. “If you met him, you knew him, you loved him”.
A graveside service to honor and celebrate his life is planned for Friday, October 18, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. at Historic Oakwood Cemetery. We strongly encourage casual attire, as Dexter would prefer.
For those who would like to give a gift to honor Dexter, please consider BAND TOGETHER, P.O. Box 6445, Raleigh, NC 27628, bandtogethernc.org/donate or to a charity of your choice.
Our family appreciates and is so thankful for all the outpouring of love we have received. While we are heartbroken and our grief is unimaginable, Dexter would want all of us to know that “it is always darkest before the dawn”. As his favorite musician Jimi Hendrix would say, “the story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye, the story of love is hello and goodbye...until we meet again.”

Oakwood Cemetery. Confederate Memorial Service 2010

He urges us to read the real history of the causes of the war, which was not limited to slavery. Sponsored by the Mildred Lee Chapter, UDC and Stuart Hairston Camp, SCV. Presentation of the Colors and Military Salute by the Stuart Hairston Camp, SCV. Commander Daniel Young. Welcome and ritual given by Mrs. Jean Rood.
You are working to preserve and provide a true history...
@ 4:44...The issue of slavery came up. I will agree that slavery was a factor in the War Between the States, but it was not, as many would have you believe today, the only cause of the conflict between 1861 and 1865.
We only have to look at what Abraham Lincoln said and did in that regard. Shortly after his election, Lincoln, who is hailed as the Great Emancipator in the end of slavery in United States, endorsed a Constitutional amendment to make slavery permanent in the fifteen southern states. He also offered to help (this is Abraham Lincoln) southern masters return runaway slaves.
Then, when it came time in 1863 on the Emancipation Proclamation, it only covered the states that were in the Confederacy. It omitted Delaware; it omitted Maryland; it omitted Kentucky and it omitted Missouri. And in 1862, Lincoln wrote ?Harris Freeland? that if he could preserve the Union, slavery was fine with him (and I'm paraphrasing).
So for those historians who want to say that the Civil War was fought only for slavery, I say take another look at history. Read the facts, and see that there were many causes.
I know that in Virginia, Virginia did not join the Confederacy until the troops from the north were gonna march in the south.
And I know the representative from Franklin county, and I'm not sure about Henry county, but Jubal Early was one of the representatives, and you all know him, famous Confederate general who was born in Franklin county, he went to the convention in Richmond to vote on the succession, and he was elected on the platform of not succeeding. But after the action that occurred in the north, and the call for Virginia, and North Carolina and Tennessee to take up arms against South Carolina, they reversed course and voted for succession. To say that they succeeded only because of slavery is just flat wrong. I would urge the rewriters of history and those that do textbooks to analyze all the facets of the Civil War, or the War Between the States, wherever the textbook writer is from, and get it right!

Carolina Exposed TV restores Historic Oberlin Cemetery, Raleigh North Carolina
Hip Hop NC-Raleigh, North Carolina- Vandem Productions Films In Association with Carolina Exposed TV and Fort Jackson Entertainment proudly present Historic Oberlin Community Cleanup Event Highlights. The event took place Saturday Feb. 25th 2012 at 1016 Oberlin Rd, Raleigh NC, behind the InterAct Building. Since the Trayvon Martin George Zimmerman Murder Case there have been numerous rallies and protests all of a sudden. But I ask, where are these organizations/businesses before Trayvon Martin was murdered. Well Vandem Productions Films|Carolina Exposed TV/DVD was in the community giving back and it didn't take anybody getting murdered and national attention for us to do so. Many people thought that this event was about Black America but actually this event was about United States Military Veterans that have fought for this country and who also are buried and forgotten in this neglected cemetery known as Oberlin Community Cemetery. I see a lot of North Carolina based hip hop radio stations doing participating in the Trayvon Martin rallies, but I ask where are these companies when there are community issues in our the communities that support them. I didn't see any of them at this event or any community event we cover. This event was very successful but not without controversy. In the next video we will discuss what it was like putting this event together, and the opposition we faced doing so. Regardless the community came together on this day and I want to thank everyone that came out to volunteer.
Here is some brief history of the Oberlin Village Community:
