Confederate Flags in Cemeteries, Savannah, Civil Rights Movement and the NRHP
February 24, 2020
** Deal hit to heal breach over rebel flags in Eureka Springs Cemetery. (Arkansas-- Someone complained. Guess? All it takes is one of these people to complain. 47 Confederate and 97 Union soldiers buried there. In the past,the flags have been "removed" by an individual.
** Panel addresses inequities of historic Savannah monuments. (Panel of local activists, so we know where they stand. Personally, I would like to see more monuments to deserving Blacks.)
** Photos: The fight for integration in Winston-Salem. (North Carolina-- Demonstrators at the Woolworth's lunch counter where the black students were seated waving Confederate flags. This is a big reason why Blacks dislike the Confederate flag and I don't blame them for it. Those people "hijacked" the Confederate flag. I hate when that happens.)
** US 'honor roll' of historic places often ignores slavery. (This would be the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). I would also like to see more slavery sites on the list.)
