A black Tennessee mayor declared April Confederate History Month while  surrounded by white members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which says it celebrates the history of the Confederacy while denouncing racism. 
.

Livingston Mayor Curtis Hayes, who appears to be non-partisan with no record of a party affiliation, signed the proclamation last week with members of the SCV. It is a Tennessee-based group comprised of male descendants of Confederate soldiers, Overton County News reported. 
.

SCV members describe the Civil War as the 'Second American Revolution' meant to preserve 'liberty and freedom' and state that the group is 'benevolent, non-political, non-racial and non-sectarian.

'The Sons of Confederate Veterans neither embraces, nor espouses acts or ideologies of racial and religious bigotry, and further, condemns the misuse of its sacred symbols and flags in the conduct of same,' according to the group's website. 
.

Despite the group's claims, it has repeatedly been criticized for allegedly trying to push the narrative that slavery wasn't at the forefront of the Civil War. 

Hayes' office and the SCV did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment. 

Hayes, who has served as mayor for more than 15 years, has previously been recognized by the NAACP, receiving the group's Diversity Award at the Cookeville branch's Freedom Fund Award program last year.
