2:30 pm
that's about the extent of it, it does not replace what we have. i understand, you know, the 20 stars the significance and what the meaning of that supposed to be, but it nothing about it. honors confederate, veterans of the soldiers. nothing. the cemetery that we're going to and i say cemetery, it's not much of a cemetery, it's just a few grades. but to me this is what our state flag is about. this is why our flag should remain the same. and this was originally just a small family cemetery. bell railroad tracks are in the same place. those or,
2:31 pm
and i ran from meridian to jackson and owned vicksburg. soldiers died on the train, brought up here laden even know the names of the soldiers. these are some of the filings who fall and died and their families never heard from them. again. didn't know where they were buried. what happened to them, this one right here it says a 6 brave soldier sleepier and that's kind of ha, feel about it. they were brave, they were honorable. they didn't fight to preserve slavery. they fought because their home was invaded because their, their state ask them to and it was honorable thing to do in,
2:32 pm
ah, how can you say that when that cause that you say that they fought so nobly for was girded up by slavery in the whole reason drawer, mississippi, getting into the civil war. they say very plainly, it's about preserving slavery in the septic. goes back almost to our founding in this country that, that the belief that america is a white man. and anybody else who comes here has to back down to the y b as rules. so it's about white supremacy. it's about power and control. it's about
2:33 pm
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 man. if we're going to change this flag and then some brave white men going to have to stand and step up. and it's got to happen in the midst of the legislature a last legislative session, there were 19 bill related for the flag this session there $22.00. all of those bills related to change or a means by which we can change the flag, have been introduced by african american legislators. they bill for in the port i have the current state flag have all been introduced by white male, conservative legislators in 2001. the people in mississippi voted on
2:34 pm
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? i personally believe that we should keep the flag. i think that the narrative that any em lorine thing there, that harkins 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 what the real history in
2:35 pm
the belief that the flag issue will be settled when we all understand. the real history of the civil war is attractive, but which part of the history confederate heritage supporters argue that the civil war was not fought to free the slaves because abraham lincoln himself said, so it is original inaugural address. he said, if i could preserve the union free and all the slaves, i do that i can preserve the union a free and some slice that i can preserve the union before a dove slighted key was reserved. and though lincoln was morally opposed to slavery, he held common racist beliefs. and then there's the core when amendment colon name, it was proposed to actually legalize labor. and i tried to propose it to the southern people to get them to,
2:36 pm
to join it back in the union. but they denied they didn't want to have any part of it all had a better bile with slavery than the court amendment would fix that. because it stated that the south to perpetuate key is peculiar institution which referred to as library. if they would not succeed from the union. the core one amendment passed both houses of congress in 1861. lincoln in his 1st inaugural address, said he would not interfere with it. and the corps would amendment been adopted before the civil war began. it would have provided a constitutional protection for slavery in the united states. and it would have been the 13th amendment but mississippi made it clear that they seceded to protect slavery in park, because they believed that black people were better suited to work in the oppressive heat. a require for picking cotton. and some white mississippians feared
2:37 pm
that emancipation wouldn't just mean economic ruin. it would lead to something they fear, even more racial equality. this was made clear when a commissioner name william l. a harris was sent to georgia to persuade them to join mississippi in seceding from the union and form a southern confederacy of slave holding states in an address to the georgia general assembly. he said, our fathers made this a government for the white man rejecting as an ignorant, inferior barbarian race, incapable of self government. he concluded his speech, saying, mississippi would rather see the last of her race. men, women, and children immolated in one common funeral pyre, can see them subjugated to the degradation of civil political and social equality with the race. georgia joined the confederacy. 3 months later
2:38 pm
with our previous president, it was there was nothing but a big hey. and it seemed like there was more of a, a war or race war more to speak on the was really what it was. this isn't a racial thing, not my me. or we don't play pretty like racial at all. we were out here. we're staying for southern pride at white nose in abilene with this present it with donald j trump. i believe that we're going to be able to come and sit down and everybody finally get this rested because this flag don't stand for racism. it's just our heritage list, sit down in a table and hash out a come to an understanding that this is the way we feel, regardless how you feel. you know what the way you feels, why you would change. what i'm asking you to change that grasping you to come to a place in your life where you can excel, what we do as we say up what you,
