The Second Civil War: Lee-Jackson Day, UNC Black Panthers, the Shame of Winston-Salem, and Now Medicine

December 28, 2019

**  A new bill would end Virginia's observance of a holiday celebrating Confederate generals.

**  UNC Black Panthers send letter to Board of Governors opposing Silent Sam settlement.  They are the first Blacks to attend UNC between 1952 and 1972.  So surprised they would be against the settlement. At least we know they ad no involvement in the tearing down of the monument.

**  In 2019, gun violence persisted, the Confederate statue came down. the Dixie Classic Fair got a new name...  (Winston-Salem, N.C..  And, you will never guess why the fair name was changed.  Too bad they took the statue down.  I had wanted to visit the Chicago White Sox minor league baseball team there, but now the city is on my list of no-visit/boycott because of this.

**  Should rebel flags be treated as Confederate monuments?  Lynwood Cemetery lawsuit shifts.

**  New logo for Civil War Medicine Museum won't include Union or Confederate flags in entirety. You'll never guess which flag had the problem.
