Arizona Parade, Why Pick On Confederate Flag?, North Carolina Protest and an Editorial

March 2, 2020

**  Arizona mayor, city counclwoman: No Confederate flags at parade.   (Tucson--  The two white women are now calling for removal of the flags from SCV float.  The councilwoman opened fire with a statement earlier that she wouldn't be in the parade because off the flags.)

**  The March 1, 2020, News & Advance (Lynchburg, Va.) "Letters to the Editor for Sunday, March 1  "Why pick on the Confederate flag?"  by Scott Myers  (Makes a lot of good points about which flag flew over slavery longer and who brought the slaves to the United States among other things.  Worth a read.)

**  NC protesters against Sons of Confederate vets.  (Raleigh, N.C.--  video of some of protest.  Heavy police presence and at least the protesters didn't get violent, just marched and chanted.)

**  Charlottesville won't mark Thomas Jefferson's birthday.  It will mark slavery's end instead.  (Considering that city's connections to Thomas Jefferson.  Well. there is definitely something wrong with that city.  Now they're celebrating their city not being destroyed by Union forces under Phil Sheridan.)

**  Editorial:  Monuments about more than Civil War history.  (Pilotonline, Hampton Roads, Va.  Happy that the bill was passed to remove Confederate monuments.  They would also like to see other monuments to Blacks connected to the city be put in place.  I agree with that.  You can never have too many monuments and plaques about history.)
