Still "Silent", Confederate Flag, St. Augustine and a Confederate Rose

February 22, 2020

Again, these are headlines from newspapers and media outlets around the country.

**  Virginia is poised  to let cities remove Confederate monuments.  It's about damn time.

**  Confederate group has 45 days to return 'Silent Sam' to UNC.  (And, then what will UNC do with it?  Probably just bury it.)

**  The history of the Confederate flag and what it represents.  (A very anti-Confederate article.  What does this have to do with teens and their fashions?  Written by Jameelah Nasheed.  I reckon that explains it.  No racism here, of course.)

**  St. Augustine wants community's input on memorial to honor black troops.  (Florida--  If black troops played a role in St. Augustine during the war I'll be all for it.  You can never have too many things about history.)

**  Sharing flower cuttings is a joy.  (Andalusia Star-News,  Alabama--  This is about the Confederate Rose flower.  I reckon there will be those people who want to change this name.  You know, slavery and all.)

**  Statue of archsegregationist remains in Capitol Square.  (Richmond, Va.  -- Statue of Harry F. Byrd, Sr.  From the Richmond Free Press, a black newspaper.)
