Confederadication: Tarring and Feathering a Criminal Offense? John Lewis, Macon, Negro Bar, and a Confederate Face Mask

JANUARY 23, 2021

**  Criminal charges   under review after  Confederate statue 'tarred and feathered,' painted with clown makeup.  (Allendale, Michigan. Two recent acts against the statue. The culprits admitted who they were, but not afraid, at the time, of breaking any law.  Maybe they were wrong?)

**  Task force backs John Lewis tribute at Confederate monument site.  Decatur, Georgia.  John Lewis deserves a statue or commemoration, but I'd hate to see it go up at the Confederate statue site.  That is rubbing salt into the wound.)

**  Macon wrestles with history over dispute over Confederate statues.  (Georgia)

**  'The Confederate flag starts flying':  Park's controversial name stirs debate over race and history.   (Folsom, California.  Park's name is "Negro Bar."  Well, you know, the name Negro.  This name comes from where black miners came during the Gold Rush days in the state.  I don't know, but to me, this would be a historical name and shouldn't be offensive.  You never think of black prospectors when you hear the words Gold Rush.)

**  On first day back at school, Oakville High student wears Confederate flag face mask.  (Missouri.  Again, are BLM face masks allowed?)
