8:33 pm
the, the, the, it's pretty flag that's about the extent of it. it does not replace what we have. i understand, you know, the 20 stars is the significance and what the meaning of that supposed today, but nothing about it. honors confederate, veterans of the soldiers, nothing. the cemetery that we're going to say cemetery. it's not much of a cemetery is just a few grades. but to me this is what our state flag is about. this is why our flagship remind beside the
8:34 pm
this was originally just a small family cemetery. bell railroad tracks are in the same place. those are and they ran from meridian to jackson, around the vicksburg. soldiers died on the train right up here. they didn't even know the names of a soldiers. these are some of the files and who fall and, and their families never heard from them again. to know where they were buried, what happened to them? this one right here, it says a 6 brave soldier. sleep here. that's kind of feel about it.
8:35 pm
they were brave. they're honorable. they didn't fight to preserve slavery. like fault because their home is invited. because their, their stay ask them to and it was honorable thing that the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, how can you say that when, when that cause that you say that they fall so lovely for was good it up by slavery. and then you know,
8:36 pm
the whole reason for mississippi getting into the civil war, they say very plainly, it's about preserving slavery. this stuff that it goes back almost to our founding in this country day. that the belief that america is to white list. and anybody else in the country it has to back down to the white. so it's about white supremacy. it's about power and control. it's about maintaining the status quo. and any kind of change occurs in this country where there's progress made towards diversity. is responded to as it is a threat to the white if we're going to change this flag in some ways white going to have to stand and step up. and it's got to happen in the midst of the legislation. the last
8:37 pm
legislative session. there were 19 bills related to the flag the session there 22. all of those bills related to change or means by which we could change the flag has been introduced by african american legislators. the bills for in support of the current state fired have all been introduced by white male, conservative legislators of the 2001 the people of mississippi voted on a flag and 65 percent of the people voted to keep the current flag. well, i don't think we as elected representatives, have the right to overturn their decision. now, whether you like it or not, we can argue about that. but the decision was made by the people of mississippi to keep the current flag. so do you have a personal feeling about the flag?
8:38 pm
i personally believe that we should keep the flag. i think that the narrative that any little maurine being there that harkens back to the civil war is somehow racist or in support of slavery is just wrong. what we have to do is spend the time to educate every one of or what the real history, the, the belief that the flag issue will be settled when we all understand. the real history of the civil war is attractive. which part of the history confederate inherited supporters argue that the civil war was not sought to free the slaves because abraham lincoln himself said, so it is original inaugural address. he said, if i could preserve the free and all the slaves, i do that i can preserve the union, but for some slight sense,
8:39 pm
if i can preserve the bedframe though slight keywords, result. and though lincoln was morally opposed to slavery, he held common racist beliefs. and then there's the core when amendment amendment was proposed to actually legalize. and i tried to propose it to the southern people to get them to talk to john, get back in the union. but they did not. i didn't, they didn't want to have any part of it is, all it have been a mile with slavery. in the court amendment would have fixed that because it stated that the south, perpetually key is peculiar institution which referred to slavery. if they would not succeed from here to the core with them in the past, both houses of congress and 1861 lincoln and his 1st and all girl address said he would not interfere with it. had the car when amendment been adopted before the civil war began, it would have provided
8:40 pm
a constitutional protection for slavery in the united states. and it would have been the 13th amendment, the mississippi made it clear that they succeeded to protect slavery. in part because they believed that black people were better suited to work in the oppressive heat, or require me for picking cotton. and some white mississippians feared that emancipation wouldn't just mean economic ruin. it would lead to something they feared, even more racial equality. this was made clear when a commissioner named william l harris was sent to georgia to persuade them to join mississippi in seceding from the union and form a southern confederacy of slaveholding states and an address to the georgia general assembly. he said, our fathers made this a government for the white man projecting for was an ignorant, inferior barbarian race, incapable of self government. he considered his speech,
8:41 pm
saying, mississippi would rather see the last of her race. men, women, and children, emulate in one common funeral pyre, can see them subjugated to the decoration of civil political and social equality within the race. georgia joined the confederacy. 3 months later with our previous president, there was nothing but a big hey. and it seemed like there was more of a, a war of a race war, more space on the was really what it was. this isn't a racial thing, not by any means. and we don't say for anything racial at all. we were out here. we're staying for southern from the news i believe with his prize very well. don't believe that we're going to be able to tom, it set out and everybody finally use his wrist because it's like,
8:42 pm
don't stand for racism is just our heritage. let's sit down in a table and hash out for quite a come to an understanding that this is the way that we feel, regardless how you feel. you know, the way you feels while you feel we can't change. we're not asking you to change that. we're asking you to come to of a place in your life where you can accept what we do as we say of what you do, what the odds of that happening are slim. and then i honestly believe it freedoms style is going to allow us i believe people will relax a little more and that's all right. she tells you religions the united states flag, the flag of 1894 as a symbol of the mississippi that adopted the constitution of 1890 mississippi's
8:43 pm
governor. at that time, james argument unabashedly stated, mississippi's constitutional convention of 1890 was held for no other purpose than to eliminate from politics. let the world know it, just as it is. governor of argument also said, if it is necessary, ev, every in the state will be list and it will be done to maintain white supremacy. sometimes your people say, oh is it is such a bad place or not? quite frankly, things like that. that's fine. we can stay wherever they are and why. if i didn't want this, if you don't find a place where you can raise the state and then say, if you don't like it, you can go somewhere. you been here for more than
8:44 pm
a century in the still what it is to me. no, i want to take the flag away from you can we are on the body on your travel, your car. that's what we're talking about these days play. they represent all mississippi you and then what was it all over or

8:48 pm
the relationship between the slave and the master wasn't except the thing and a, it was there was a love between, i wanna make sure i understand what you're saying here. that, that, that the natural range. and you're saying that in united states in mississippi, that it was a natural fit, slavery was natural, and that means the relationship could be a natural thing, could be yes, it could be now that could be people who felt like it was on that talk, the slaves some of them perhaps so you think we just um yeah, don't think of majority frames for. okay. what's the position? yes. i just accepted it as a as their station in law. do you see a situation where blacks could be masters to wines without being asked? would that be no problem? yeah, i think in some cases, you know, i had a, a, a supervisor when i worked at
