There were no new items on the Oct. 31st Google Alerts. Perhaps this thing is blowing over some was my thought. Sadly, it wasn't.
From the November 1, 2015, Google Alerts for Confederate.
Mississippi's stand on the Confederate battle flag has ebbed and flowed with times. (Sun Herald) (Draw) The current flag was designed and accepted in 1894, preceding the Civil Rights Movement.
City Clears Art From Confederate Monument. (Baltimore) (Win) A grotesque, anti-Confederate, statue was placed at the Confederate monument illegally and removed by city workers.
From the November 2, 2015 Google Alerts for Confederate.
Black minsters' position on Confederate monuments. (New Orleans) (Win) They consider the mayor too aggressive on their removal, some calling it unnecessary and racially divisive. This sure surprised me. I would expect them to be completely behind removal.
Furl that banner. (Baltimore Sun) (Draw/Loss) Kind of hard to pick this one. The column refers to the"Poet Priest of the Confederacy," Father Ryan, whose poem written shortly after the war,, "The Conquered Banner" urged Confederate veterans to "furl the banner" and get on with their lives.
