** Mississippi flag's Confederate imagery invites 'acts of racial violence,' lawsuit alleges. (Loss) A Civil Rights lawyer filed it. I seriously doubt that one single Mississippi state flag has attacked any black people.
** Confederate Heritage Month declaration sparking controversy. (Mississippi) (Loss) Why should it be sparking controversy. I didn't get upset with Black History Month.
** Before Holmes and Hunter: Students look at UGA's history of segregation and slavery. (The Red & Black student newspaper University of Georgia) If slaves were involved at the school before the Civil War, they should have to change the name and remove any and all history before 1865 as racist and prejudicial.
Wait a minute, UGA had its first black students, Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter, enter in 1961. That means that anything before that also needs to be changed.
This was a very interesting article which I will write about next week.
** And, if UGA should change everything before 1961, the University of Mississippi, through its refusal to fly the state flag, should drop everything before 1962, when it was desegregated.
