Stories Differ In Georgia Confederate Flag Flap

By Christopher Brennan, July 28, 2015 Daily Mail

 A black child's birthday party in Georgia was interrupted by a group of men driving pickup trucks with Confederate flags who were allegedly armed and threatening violence.

Video of the incident showed at least seven trucks with both Confederate and American flags driving past the outraged party-goers in Douglasville on Saturday.

A woman who posted a second video says that one of the white truck drivers, who she alleged were armed, said he would 'kill y’all [N-words]'.

Black Confederate Flag Supporter Killed In Highway Motor Accident Caused By Hecklers

By Emmakristina Sveen, July 20, 2015 Daily Caller

Anthony Hervey — a 49-year-old black activist known for being a vocal proponent of the Confederate flag — died Sunday in a car crash caused by a car-full of black hecklers who chased and verbally attacked Hervey, driving his vehicle off the Mississippi highway.

Hervey was driving home from a rally to preserve the Linn Park Confederate Monument in Birmingham, Alabama, the Daily Mail reports. The memorial is soon to be removed from the park pursuant to a recent vote by Birmingham political leaders.

Hervey was a well-known black activist for preserving the Confederate flag who’s advocacy dates back to more than two decades ago.

Confederate Flag Supporters Rise Up To Defend Embattled Symbol

By Barbara Liston, July 12, 2015 Reuters

OCALA, Fla. (Reuters) - An eight-mile convoy of pickups, motorcycles and cars wound through a central Florida town on Sunday in a show of support for the Confederate flag, as a backlash against its banishment from public landmarks across the South picks up steam.
Horns blared and hundreds of the rebel flags fluttered as more than 1,500 vehicles and some 4,500 people turned out for the "Florida Southern Pride Ride" in Ocala, according to police estimates. Vehicles from states across the South and as far away as California participated.

"That flag has a lot of different meanings to a lot of different people," said David Stone, 38, who organized the event. "It doesn't symbolize hate unless you think it's hate - and that's your problem, not mine.”

Confederate Flag Battle Erupts In Congress amid Unexpected debate Over Displays In Cemeteries

By Paul Kane and Abby Phillip, July 9, 2015, Washington Post

Three weeks after a racially motivated massacre in a black church in Charleston, S.C., the Confederate battle flag will no longer fly on the grounds of the South Carolina State House, following a bitter debate over its role as a symbol of racism and hate.

The shooting that left nine dead at Emanuel AME Church and subsequent images of the alleged gunman holding the battle flag set off a national debate about the flag’s meaning and history. On Thursday, Gov. Nikki Haley (R) signed legislation to remove the flag, which has flown over the capitol’s dome or on its grounds since 1961.

The furor over the flag rippled through the halls of Congress on Thursday when House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) called for a review of Confederate symbols and memorabilia, which is likely to include those on display in the Capitol.

Boehner was forced to halt consideration of a government funding measure after it became engulfed by the Confederate flag controversy and whether it was appropriate to display the flags at national cemeteries where Confederate soldiers are buried.

Emotions Run High During Confederate Flag Rally At State House

By Harve Jacobs, July 9, 2015, 19 Action News

COLUMBIA, SC (WCSC/WIS) -
Emotions ran high during a Confederate Flag rally at the state house Monday afternoon.

In comparison to a similar rally last week, this time more folks turned out who support the flag staying on the State House grounds. There were words exchanged between both sides.

"We won't let you repeat the history of that flag, that hateful flag that lynched people," state National Action Network president Elder James Johnson yelled to a flag supporter.

Between verbal jousting, flag opponents made repeated calls for the flag to come down.

One of those calling for it to be moved was the granddaughter of late US Senator Strom Thurmond.

In the early part of his political career, Thurmond was an avowed segregationist.

"It promotes all negative things, hatred and all the things that have happened that kept our ancestors in bondage," Wanda Bailey said.
