Back on Jan. 1, 2014, a Florida TV station reported that a Confederate flag on a firefighter's ax led to changes after it was seen at a fire at a black person's home in Pine Hills.
Later that month came this headline: "Confederate leader's name on US-1 still rankles some." Robert Perry wants Jefferson Davis' name removed from the Jefferson Davis Highway (US-1). It was named by the General Assembly in 1992 and would need legislative removal for its removal. In 2001, the county board renamed the old Jefferson Davis Highway in Crystal City the Long Bridge Drive.
