From the Nov. 11, 2015, Google Alerts for Confederate.
VA Flaggers to protest InLight exhibit at Confederate chapel outside VMFA. (Richmond, Va.) (Win) There is to be an art exhibit on the grounds of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and plans are to turn the chapel into a "Funhouse" called "Trippy Dippy Light Show. (Loss) The show will go on. In 2011, the VMFA forced the removal of Confederate battle flags from the Chapel.
Confederate Flag ban on clothing finds favor on Montgomery County School Board. (Christiansburg, Va., of course) (Loss) but no big surprise.
A.C. House 63 candidate wants confederate flag back (WBTW) (Win). But, I wonder why the article kept spelling Confederate with a small "c"? Candidate Will Breazeale says it is not a racist symbol.
Sons of Confederate Veterans commemorate 100th anniversary of P.G.T. Beauregard statue. (New Orleans) (Win) This is one of the ones causing a removal debate.
Lake Village Votes to Change Confederate Street Name. (Lake City, Arkansas) (Loss) The City Council voted to change the name Confederate Avenue to Sgt. Thomas Armour, Jr. Street, a Lake Village resident who lost both legs in Vietnam. I see on a map accompanying the article that they also have a Lee Street and we know what Confederate general had that name. They also have a Chicago Boulevard and we know about all the blacks killed there every week. Maybe some other street names need to be changed.
