It’s a subject that has been controversial for decades … what does the Confederate flag stand for and should it even still be around at public places. The conversation has taken center stage following the tragic murder of nine innocent black people by a white racist coward inside a South Carolina church this past June.
Those who support the flag say it isn’t about racism but about honoring “southern heritage” while those against it see the flag as a continuing symbol of slavery, one of the factors that led the Confederate state to secede from the United States.
