Fair use rationale for Image:Byrd2.jpg
Image:Byrd2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Real Meaning of the Corn Wine and Oil
Your article is wrong about the meaning of the corn, wine and oil that you describe in the article about CE Byrd High School in Shreveport. Corn, Wine and Oil are Masonic Symbols used to illustrate moral allegories in the Masonic Ritual. CE Byrd came into being during the same era as the Shriners Hospital in Shreveport which also has a deeply Masonic history as the first Shrines Hospital in the United States. The Scottish Rite and York Rite Temple were built in downtown Shreveport across the Street from the Jewish Temple Bnai Zion during this same period as the participation in Masonic organizations reached an all time high in the US. You will find a Masonic Dedication Cornerstone at the Northeast Corner on each of these buildings which is also highly symbolic and important in Masonic lore. Outside of Washington, DC; Shreveport and Louisiana have some of the longest Masonic history in America. Many of the high schools, courthouses and other important buildings have Masonic corner stones. Thanks, Dr Philip Rolland M.Ed. Pharm.D. USAFR Pdrolland (talk) 18:57, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
