Civil War II: About That Confederate Flag in the Middle School, Black Images on Monument Avenue, Goodbye Part of the Dixie Highway

February 6, 2020

**  Some Confederate statues could soon be removed in Virginia.

**  The Buzz:  Confederate statues.

**  Parent speaks out following Confederate battle flag display in middle school classroom.  (South Carolina.  As part of a Civil War unit, a teacher hung a Confederate battle flag next to a 34-star Union flag and a black mother was appalled when she found out about it from her child.  The district investigated.  I sure wish I had that much power.  All it takes is one black person to be offended and then it becomes a major situation.)

**  Richmond's avenues honoring Confederate heroes now include black images.  (Virginia   Monument Avenue.  Also has statue of Arthur Ashe and now the statue in front of the art museum that evidently is by the avenue.)

**  Miami-Dade commission to rename Dixie Highway.  (Florida  A black commissioner is pushing this.  Wants the name changed to Harriet Tubman Highway.  You know, Dixie where they had the "S" word.  Also movement to change the name in Hallandale Beach, Florida.
