know it's a lonely for society to really do a good check of our values. corporate giants like e bay target and wal mart stopped selling items bearing the confederate flag, telling me right now literally just now in the last couple of minutes. in less, less 2 minutes, amazon just pull the flag as well. no. even nascar, an icon of traditional southern culture turned against the flag with an appeal to patriotism. they told us got a special offer for race fans as we can trade in your confederate flag for an american lot. anti flag momentum reached a climax when president obama delivered the eulogy from mother emanuel. pastor clemente pinkney over the flag from the states. capital would not be an act of political correctness, not in salt to the ballon confederate sold me, sent me an acknowledgement that the cause for which they fought the cause of

slavery was then 2 weeks later, the flag came down in south carolina. a just to say flag again, a lot of attention is all because of this, the revel. banner rehab with your roommate. you know, i'm not go live here. you care about me. if you care about the play, you can have this bridge, the story intervals, fixed a, do you think the confederate flag of the, as you can see, it's about even i wish somebody could just tell me why this sets their hair. our government is sanctioning the chosen symbol of a terrorist organization on our state flag. i love 7 or i love the in the 2nd vail, i think we had them here for flag. we need to fight. i. my problem is the safe place to

if they even want in not a time in history. and what they're trying to do is they're trying to fill in mississippi and that we should change when i don't like it delivered to, you know, banding and red willing. i me i was born and raised in the north, in my irish great great grandfather, michael o'connor was an officer of the union army. but i married a mississippian and of course we live here now. the main street in the neighboring

town is not called main street. it's jeff davis avenue, named after jefferson davis, a mississippi plantation owner and us senator, who advocated for the expansion of slavery into the new territory. he was elected president of the confederacy. ah, there is another jeff davis avenue, a short drive away. and jefferson davis, his home and presidential library, is just up the highway like many mississippi counties, our court house at the monument to confederate soldiers. and some of our neighbors flew the state flag in their yards. something i've never seen any place else. so yes, in mississippi. remnants of the confederacy are everywhere. but even at the civil war relics, joe and brandon, mississippi change seem inevitable. tell me, what sort of interactions are you having with folks who are interested in buying

people or minds, mississippi state play more than usual. evidently, there must be a shortage on the horizon somewhere in it. a shame. okay, my name is tim with you, but i'm a member of the sons of confederate veterans. when i started doing my family research, i found that my family called on both sides union and confederate. but if some people lane last sunday, the lane, right, or elaine's out, we want people to remember our past what our ancestors went through. and this prize that we made, ah, i appreciate you being here. and now i hope that when you're doing your documentary, that you are present both sides on positive manner and,

and let people make amanda for themselves. i understood that confederate heritage, supporters like tim might be suspicious of my intentions. i am a yankee, after all. i assured him and everyone else i spoke to him, the film that i wasn't going to choose aside. mister bate. and i wasn't here to judge anyone. i simply wanted to understand why mississippians were so divided overstate flag, whose purpose should be to unite us. ah, [000:00:00;00]

a sons of confederate veterans purposes not to defend confederate or purposes to defend the good name of the confederate soldier. with that you take, which i take very seriously because these monuments that you see everywhere are not, can, they're not monuments to the better government. they're monuments to the, to the alters to the veteran, most of the terribly wanted ah, you supplied that those men were masters of some sort and that is not true. and so i can't just sit there while that story gets told that i know it's not true. of course for made it fascinated with mississippi history in particular,

because the census in $1840.00 i think is 1st one. 0 everybody here was 20 years old. everybody, there were no people anywhere, and they were coming to absolutely raleigh in any more than 20 years that you're fighting for your existence as a nation. ah, you know, that's a, that's how we got here was these people were determined to live rebel over the same dna should not be a bad again, only which was a study, pardon for anything not done? look, this state flag issue never would have been brought back up if it wasn't for what

happened on june 17th in charleston, south carolina. they want you to believe that that flag grew handlers came down that paul walked in that church and those people it was a human being that did that not a fly. open your mouth. open your mouth. oh, we keep them your mouth open. it are. does something with the concussion? every flag has its history. it has its pride and dark parts. we won't talk about dark parts, you know, we can mention how slavery was brought in under the us flag. there's videos of this one organization marching down. i believe it's pennsylvania avenue in washington,

d. c. and they're only flying the u. s. flag. why not be offended? because if that's like, you know, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything out. mm hm. if you say you're fighting for your heritage where your heritage was based on money and power in the only way you could get money in power here in the south is if you kill a decent franchise, people you slate clean and simple. always knew what the confederate emblem made to us as an african

americans. but what can you tell me what it always meant to catering? lynchings, beatings, poverty, why supremacy is just the disgusting ambulance? i feel that way because i leave it. i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order to conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about personal intelligence. the point obviously is to great trust, rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with

a robot must protect its own existence with ah, yes. now, can you give me if it's deployed near to nancy in urban group? kim's in a book that probably the national shift. anyway, the young showcase is under nathaniel. that sounds good to the boy. why is it up to a boy ah, [000:00:00;00]

with a quote down in my chair at the says, laura doesn't want that much extra mom, but i know it's up under that whole a motion of your mind. you thought it home you. i mean, you really above, he's a little boy, a border with my look and you live muscles. if you look on the initial be one of club, not to get a dealer post on zillow while a b i was getting used by you a new one who did origin, but you also still listed on the thought it was a similar to like what you thought that i've done with what i see these, do you need both?

who's the little gear motivation, those diesel due to the gumbo sub? ah. ah no one, no, no, no, no, no, no. what the most of them, what they sion at the unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program. that the world had ever known real to production,

but it will show up enough to build on it, so new to keep on. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, got the sale. i understood, i wished enough about julie who knew he didn't more than a jewel it's i had a little cold and weather and all buddy, you know, nice 1st little to do want to on this she my new on a on all i is and more similar to the,

you know, put them out to think it was me say this whole lead issue is really a suffix or just a red. but it's not just the way it is with lab was always present like it was, it's out there. when those people get shot,

we got a a confederate battery and members of the k k k. i say that they are christian and just it is my hope in mind is that god will push them to put tre. christine, how do you change the heart of a man? you?

law may not change. so it can then it does change habits of men. when you began to change habits and then they attitude will be james curtis. the hops will be changed. my mother, she will say rights for women, they host down with holes is she still held the bite marks only from the doll. and she also went to jail and i was like, you know this, my mom, why what i mean? she's the sweetest person. oh no one was somebody to do that to her. it was a power when the news came own about the shooting. mama say they don't make no same as food. went to jail and get be for human rights and civil rights and welfare. right. yeah. i better do something. and when she said,

y'all better do something we do. i'm the director of of lanfield miss tippins coalition. i've just been going around trying to raise awareness about the importance of removing the confederate emblem from our stay flay. it's gonna be hard, but it's not impasse. you just have to keep pushing and keep striving. i just thank god for grace and mercy. because you need a whole lot. oh more than 200 people march from g r. lead street to the state capital calling for change and the state flag. we just need a flag that will unify everyone. not long after i met sharon, she stepped away from her leadership role with the flag for all mississippians

initiative. due to health reasons. it would be some time before i could talk to sharon on camera again. she found an ally and leah campbell, an anti flag activist on the mississippi gulf coast for me as a white woman. oh, it's incumbent upon me as a, as a white mississippian. and i'm a person of privilege to use my privilege to do what i can to dismantle a system of white supremacy and symbols of white supremacy that my ancestors created. mm hm. wow. line. i grew up in the sound, so i have a sense of the racism that still exists here and it would be naive me or anyone else to deny that. then li, sitting in charleston happened,

and i distinctly remember seeing the photo, dylan res, posing with the confederate flag and reading his blog posts. and then watch governor nikki haley has the courage to take that confederate emblem down from south carolina state house ground. it really made me angry that our governor and our legislators could not display the same courage. oh, so i knew i had to get involved. were fighting with me right now with do you think it makes them feel when they everywhere laid her? that flag is flying,

and then we are better than that. mississippi is better than that. no. mm ah. this wasn't the 1st time mississippians have wrestled over their flag in 1993, the hon. ac piece to the state to change the flag for familiar reasons. back with that lawsuit whether the discovery that due to a legislative air in 19 o 6, mississippi did not have an official state flag. and in 2001 governor ronnie musgrove decided to settle the issue with the statewide referendum. asking voter to choose between 2 flags, the current flag at the time which had been adopted,

$1894.00 and a new zine. and now the mississippi flag is wavering. and this time voters will decide if the confederates civil will fall. the flag of 8941 by nearly 2 to one margin. suddenly the issue for the time being the flag of $894.00 was adopted. just 4 years after mississippi had convened a constitutional convention to write a new state constitution. the civil war had ended 30 years earlier, and although black mississippians made up nearly 60 percent of the states population, only one of the convention delegates was black. reconstruction was over and white, mississippi, and had regained political control from the majority, black population to violence and intimidation, and a newly formed ku klux klan. the president of the convention made it clear that their goal was to circumvent the 15th amendment,

which prohibited the government from denying a citizen the right to vote based on race. let's tell the truth if at 1st the bottom of the university said we came here to exclude the other convention. delegates confirmed this notion in me. mississippi's constitution of $890.00 included a whole tax and a literacy task that effectively prevented generations of black citizens from voting until the passage of the voting rights act. some 75 years later it was in this political climate that the flag of 894 was born. i

back i was a flag plan all the flags all over the very, you know, and i got the horizontal lamps hanging out. so i was, i was put some flag, so i'm a true blooded, southern mississippi, southern man. and, and, and accepted. and i are relishing because that's who i am. that's who, where my family is, came from. my family as live in the state of mississippi before it even became a state of the union. i am a direct descendant of james jefferson. johnson is my great, great great grandfather and the 41st mississippi infantry. this is my sons, confirm veterans certificate. what really got me just fired about doing some kind of a better organization is because of what's going on in the country. discrimination against black people, discrimination against the jews with discrimination against

a southern. they accused us of all being rices, you know, and it's a fan of a 1000000, is what the flag means to a lot of people. and that's why like k and other groups used to play the part that me out. the worst is i wish my ancestors would have put a stop to it before you know, a got to the point that is today. we're in time, i say that played out americans, things take it personally with what is referred to as a better flag. graphically it's done however, you can separate it from all that it is still for a negative sense. i'm glad for us to have a symbol about which people had no evidence whatsoever. we're at a moment we're we can do this right and well and respectfully drawing bought. i didn't like name callings,

i don't want rallies where people are yelling back and forth all along the way from the way i present things. so we design a flag. i want everybody to have a stitch, a thread, and that new design. and i hope to be that middle ground, that landing point for folks who, you know, as time has passed and they come along, i think. and right now we need something new. it began with a whole lot of sketching, a lot of note taking a lot of research, a flag really as a living symbol and document and piece of art. but there $900.00 stars along the outer edge. we were the 20th state to join the union. the color, red symbolizes passion and blood. i chose the color white as a field because it represents elimination spirituality promise. and i thought that was an appropriate way to bring together all of these elements and all of these aspects of our history. and our story. of course, my grandfather was an u. s. senate and i. he was one of the co authors and signers of the southern manifesto, which was

a reaction against brown vs board of education. integrating schools. and he was involved in we are the oppression of african americans in our state by way of policy. but i still love my grandfather. his personal motto was look ahead and he did, he eventually changed himself to on that issue. lauren's flag design known as the stennis flag quickly became popular and caught the attention of state representative kathy sikes. who was the 1st legislator to advocate for the stanish flag as a viable alternative to the flag of 18. 94. ah, ah luis counter russian state. little narrative. i've studied as unfortunately no slam scheme div us. mm hm . the american house house and up with 55,

we did. okay. so 9 is 25 i'm speaking with. we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine estate on russia today. and split ortiz food that came in our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest. and with me, i have everything has changed. and one of the elements of this picture is the desperate, the attack of the west or counter ish hanging to stop the duration of their positions. they decided to concentrate on russia. and

their real aim is, of course, saving their 500 years of their domination. and the emitter intermediate emissions on demand china now, but under my china, they have to the 1st to take out

a a with a shop with folk that window glass and fragmented my husband into heart and kill him. one civilian is reportedly killed in the lakers. ukrainian shelling of russia looked down with authority. they saved the week of russia. we joined the great exports deal on ukraine promise. it won't be humanitarian commodore to military purposes. in the wake of a drone assault on russia. black, the fleet plot,
