evade controversy, eva? well, helen is only one course. we also could have asked just as english reporters did cara's. why are you the head coach of the country that killed innocent people in afghanistan in iraq regarding discontent towards the queen's funeral costs in winter? expenses of yes and in general, the atmosphere at the world cup has been rather uncomfortable for fans from israel, given an overwhelming public support for palestine in kata. i'm not if i, if he gets the policy and unofficially honestly in oh, murphy slavers recently the city i don't front of the not about it's like a silent movie. it's been less than a week and already the tournament has yielded a very rich harvest of scandal. both sports and politics wise. all to show this year as cup is going to be the one to remember. many thanks for joining us. they

were naughty, international went back the top, the i with the very latest. ah, i in

i me 911 went to the emergency man. okay. i just played the bush police and some by the way, the way the manual church manually went and there's people shot shot past. all the men in the check, please come right away. did you see him at all? yes, he's a young to anyone. why do me and when you come down,

what happened at the mother emmanuel and the church in charleston, south carolina. in the summer of 2015 was almost to her rhetoric to comprehend. a white gunmen stormed into a bible study 9 church members die right before god another word church church. what do we know about who this man is and what is motivation? and then you re follow women and taken over our country. you have to go shortly after dylan roof was captured, investigators found a racist manifesto. he posted online with dozens of images, posing that confederate harriet sites and was confederate flags. and now the focus of the nations outrage shifted from the killer himself to the symbol that seemed to contain more than its borders. all the racial hatred and roofs heart or the

backlash was swift. terrific shooting has re ignited a highly sensitive debate over the confederate flag. this flag has become a symbol of murder of racism patron. and it is clearly a symbol of this killer. the conversation we're having about the confederate flag has been about moral empathy. seeing the flag for others eyes. you know, it's a lonely for society to really do a get 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. unless the last few minutes amazon, just pull the flag as well. or even nascar, an icon of traditional southern culture turned against the flag with an appeal to patriotism. they tell has 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 for mother emanuel pastor

clemente pinkney moving the flag from the states. capital would not be an act of political correctness, not in insults. with a balance confederate sold me simply made an acknowledgement that the cause for which they fought the cause of slavery was then 2 weeks later the flag came down and south carolina. oh, this is a flag again, a lot of attention is all because of this, the ref, old banner rehab, which are good make you know, i'm not going to you care about me. if you care about this bridge, the story is to hold fixed a. do you think the confederate flag of the fed? as you can see, it's about even i wish somebody could just tell me why this sets there

are government is sanctioning this hose and symbol of a terrorist organization on our state. far. i love the seminar. i love the southern bail, i think we had the most beautiful flag we need to fight. i . my problem is the safe place to with everyone in not a time in peace. and what they're gonna do is they're trying to tell us as mississippians that we should change. we're not gonna change. you know, i get the liquor a

i was born and raised in the north or my irish great great grandfather, michael o'connor was an officer of the union army. but i married a mississippian, and of course we lived here now in the main street. 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 and he was elected president of the confederacy. there's another jeff davis avenue short drive away in jefferson davis. his home and presidential library is just up the highway like many mississippi counties. our court house has a monument to confederate soldiers,

and some of our neighbors flew the state flag and their yards something i'd 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 to tell me what sort of interactions are you having with folks who are interested in buying mississippi papers by in mississippi state place. more than usual, evidently, there must be a shortage on the horizon somewhere in it a shame. okay, my name is tim cupid. i'm a member of the sons of confederate veterans. when i started doing my family research, i found that my family hold on both sides union and confederate, but if some people lane laugh, some people lane, right? well eileen, south, we want people to remember our pass,

what our ancestors went through. and this drives that way. i appreciate you being here, and i hope that when you're doing your documentary that you present both sides a positive manner and, and let people make amanda wasn't 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 the film that i wasn't going to choose aside. mr. bate. and i wasn't here to judge anyone. i simply wanted to understand why mississippians were so divided over state flag. whose purpose should be to unite us? me ah,

ah, me. the law sounds a confederate veterans purposes, not defend confederate, govern our purposes, to defend the good name of the confederate soldiers that you take, which i take very seriously because these monuments that you see everywhere or not, can they not monuments to the better government? there monuments to the, to the soldiers to the veterans. most of the came back terribly wanted. ah,

did those men were masters of some sort and that's not true. and so i can't just sit there while that story gets told this. i know it's not true. of course, for me, i'm fascinated with mississippi history in particular because the census in 1840 i think is the 1st one. everybody here was 20 years old. everybody. there were no people anywhere. and they were coming to absolutely raleigh and. and then within 20 years of that you're fighting for your existence as a nation. ah, you know, that's ah, that's how we got here was these people were determined to live

robin. oh, a bad oregon. oh, only which reward anus any. pardon for anything. are done. flip this state flag issue never would have been brought back up. if it wasn't what happened on june the 17 in charleston, south carolina. they want you to believe that that flag grew hands delays came down that paul walked in that church with you know, those people it was a human being that did that not a fly, open your mouth, open your mouth. oh. 7 we

keep them your mouth open, it are, does something. what 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 u. s. black. 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. y again. why not be offended? because if that's what you know, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything with . if you say you're fighting for your heritage where your heritage was based, own money and power in the only way you could get money in power here. this

is if you kill a decent franchise, people you slade, plain and simple, always new would do. confederate emblem made to us as an african americans. but what can you tell me what it always meant you patriot lynchings, beatings, poverty. why supremacy is just the disgusting ambulance? i feel that way because i leave it with ah

ah ah watching it was a shag now shorter one but not imagine this day i went back with a finance national z lesher shyly yours didn't

b a l 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 is a conflict with the 1st law of the patient. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear. i would like to take on various job with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with ah, ah,

ah, a she is really serious a. something's all just all right. but it's not just the way it represents inequality versus hatred. and a flag was always present like it was south carolina. when those people were innocently shocked. we got a

a confederate batteries and members of the k k k. i say that they are christians. i just, it is my hope in mind is that god would touch them to preach try christine, how do you change the hot over mignon?

whoa. may not change my have submitted it a habit of man. when you are begun, i have a 2 man who has a lot will be june. my mother, she file for welfare rights for women. they holster down with hoses. she still held the bite marks on her leg from the doll. and she also went to jail and i was like to know this, my mamma. why? why not? i mean, she's the sweetest person. oh no one was somebody do that to her. it was appalling . when the news came on about the shooting. mamma say they don't make no same. yep. as stood up, you went to jail and get beat for human rights and civil rights and welfare.

right. yeah. better do something. and when she say a gal better do something, we do something. i am the director of, of lanfield mississippians coalition. i've just been going around trying to raise awareness about the importance of removing the confederate emblem from our state 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 j. r lynch street to the state capital calling for change in 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 lee a 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. 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 shooting and charleston happen. 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 for the soul right now. looking at me or do you think it makes them feel when they everywhere they heard that flag is flying? what does that say?

and then we are better than than mississippi is better than that. no. mm hm. 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. with that lawsuit whether the discovery that due to a legislative air in 19 o 6, mississippi did not have an official state flag in 2001 governor ronnie musgrove decided to settle the issue with statewide referendum,

asking voter to choose between 2 flags. the current flag at the time which had been adopted, $1894.00 and a new design. and now the mississippi flag is wavering at this time. voters will decide if the confederate symbol will follow the flag of 18. 941 by nearly 2 to one margin, settling the issue for the time being a flag of 18. 94 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 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 us citizen the right to vote based on race. and let's tell the truth of at 1st the bottom of the university said we came here to exclude them. in other convention, delegates confirmed this notion. mm . mississippi's constitution of 18. 90 included a poll tax and a literacy test that effectively preventive 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 1894 was born. ah

vac, all this while flag trade with lateral put the flags all over this tree and i got the horizontal limbs hanging out. so i was, i was put some flag. so i'm a true blooded, southern mississippi, southern man 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'm a direct descendant of james jefferson johnson is my great, great great grandfather and the 41st mississippi infantry. this is my son's a confederate veteran certificate. what really got me just fired about well known and some kind of confederate organization is because of what's going on in the

country discrimination against black people, discrimination against the jews with discrimination against a southerners. they accuse us of all be in races, you know, and it's a sign 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 a magnet. things take a tape person 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 have no evidence whatsoever. we're adamant we're

we can do this right and well and respectfully, fraud involved. i don't like name calling, i don't white rallies where people are yelling back and forth all along the way from the way i present things. the way i 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 in 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

a us senate and 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 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 1894. 0, [000:00:00;00]
