Confederate Flag Removal ‘Also A Feminist Act’
Cultural critic and writer Michaela Angela Davis argued that the removal of the Confederate flag on South Carolina’s statehouse by protester Bree Newsome was “very American” and “also a feminist act” on Friday’s “CNN Newsroom.”
Davis said Newsome’s actions were “very American. She’s a patriot. That’s a freedom fighter act. She was a flag slayer in this great patriotic tradition. We have always gone against laws that we thought were against humanity. Walking across the bridge in Selma, Alabama was breaking the law. We do this.”
Davis continued, “it was also a feminist act, we have to remember that three black women were going to be buried on that day. So, there’s something also as a human being, do we honor them by them being buried under that flag today? So, the urgency in which — because now the governor says ‘We have to make a date to talk about talking about taking it down.’ But, on that day when that community is in so much pain, that flag is a constant reminder. And again, three women were buried on that day. And one women went up and got that flag down.”
