1:35 am
stop selling the items bearing the confederate flag, telling me right now literally just now in the last couple of minutes. in less, less to minutes, amazon just pulled the flag as well. even nascar, an icon of traditional southern culture turned against the flag with an appeal to patriotism span so, so we can, you can train in your confederate flag for an american one. anti flag momentum reached a climax when president obama delivered the eulogy from other a manual pastor clement of painting. removing the flag from the space capital would not be an act of political correctness would not be installed to the balance confederates on the same. we may not acknowledge the cause for which they fall slavery 2 weeks later, the flag came down in south carolina. for i get
1:36 am
getting a lot of attention is all because of this. the rebel banner did make you care about me. you're about to play this for all 16. do you think the confederate flag is offensive? as you can see, it's about even with somebody. just tell me why this sense they're here. our government is functioning the chosen symbol of a terrorist organization on our state far. i love the 7 or i love the southern bell . i think we have the most beautiful flag to fight for my problem is the safe place to with the everyone in not a time in east. and what they're trying to do is they're trying to tell us as mississippians that we should change if you don't like it.
1:37 am
the i was born and raised in the north. my irish great great grandfather, michael o'connor was an officer in the union army. but i married in mississippi and, 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 senators who advocated for the expansion of
1:38 am
slavery into the new territory. he was elected president of the confederacy. there's another jeff davis avenue short drive away. and jefferson davis, his home and presidential library is just up the highway like many mississippi counties, our court house as a monument to confederate soldiers. and some of our neighbors splitting the states 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 seems inevitable to tell me what sort of interactions are you having with folks who are interested in buying mississippi state paper or buying mississippi state flag more than usual. evidently, there must be a shortage on
1:39 am
a road somewhere in it. a shame my name is tim q, but i'm a member of the sons of confederate veterans. when i started doing my family research, i found that my family followed on both sides union and confederate, but if some people lane left, some people lane, right? well, a lane's file. we want people to remember our past, what our ancestors went through. and this fries that we made, the, i appreciate you being here, and i hope that when you're doing your documentary that you present both sides on a positive manner and, and let people make them on that for themselves. i understood that considered a heritage supporters like tim might be suspicious of my intentions. i am
1:40 am
a yankee after all. i assured him and everyone else i spoke to on the film that i wasn't going to choose aside. mister bates. and i wasn't here to judge anyone. i simply wanted to understand why mississippians were so divided over state flags whose purpose should be to unite us. mm. the signs are considered veterans purposes not to defend. considered. our purpose is to
1:41 am
defend the name of the confederates sold. that's the out that you take, which i take very seriously because these monuments that you see everywhere or not can but they're not monuments to the federal government. they're monuments to the, to the soldiers, to the veterans. most of it came back terribly wanted the ship side that those man or 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 of the different because the census in 1840, i think the 1st one, everybody here was 20 years old. everybody to know people anywhere. and they were
1:42 am
coming to absolutely raleigh and. and then within 20 years of that, you're fighting for your existence as a nation, the desktop, the, the, that's how we got here was these people were determined to lay of the or the same dna should not do not, not only with suite one anus, any part in for any it say not done. look, this state flag, she never would have been brought back up. if it wasn't for what happened on june the 17 in charleston, south carolina. they want you to believe that that flag grow hands and legs came
1:43 am
down. that pole walked in that church and field, those people it was a human being that did that not apply the open your mouth open your mouth. 7 we keep them your mouth open, it does something with a concussion. every flag has its history. it has its broad and dark parks. 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 organizations marching down. i believe it's pennsylvania avenue in washington dc. and they're only flying us flag. that's why not be offended, because if that's what you know, if we're going to be offended by everything,
1:44 am
every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything. the if you say you are fighting for your heritage where your heritage was based on money and power in the only way you can get money and power here, new style is if you kill a disenfranchised people in slaves. flying is always knew what the confederate gambling meant to us is of african americans. but what can you tell me what it always, matthew, catering lynchings, beatings, poverty. why supremacy is just the disgusting
1:45 am
ambulance? i feel that way because i leave it the more expensive and i'm here to plan with you. whatever you do, you do not watch my new show search like why watch something that's so different whitelisted all opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to planes or do have the state department c i a weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you comfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you the

1:49 am
right? yeah, i'll be able to do something. and when she said no better do something, we do something, or i'm the director of a flat file mississippians coalition. i've just been going around trying to raise awareness about the importance of removing the confederate emblem from our state flag is going to be hard, but it's not impossible. you just have to keep pushing. it keeps driving. i just thank god for the grace and mercy because you need a whole lot of people march from j. r lynch street to the state capital calling for change and the state slide. we just need a flag that were unified. everyone
1:50 am
not long after i met sharon's, 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 lia campbell, an anti flag activist on the mississippi gulf coast. for me as a white woman, i, it's incumbent upon me as a, as a white mississippi. 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, the r direct and the sound. so i didn't have a sense of the racism that still exist here. and um, it would be an i me or anyone else to deny that that exist. stanley shooting in
1:51 am
charleston happened and i distinctly remember saying the best photo doing res, posing with the confederate large man, reading his blog post and then watch governor nikki haley, have the courage to take that confederate envelope down from south carolina state house ground. it really made me angry that our governor and our legislators could not display the same courage. um, so i knew i had to get involved. were fighting the. do you feel when they everywhere, legs her, that why is like, what we are better than mississippi is better than
1:52 am
the this wasn't the 1st time mississippians have wrestled over their flag in 1993. the young double a c p. c with the state to change the flag for familiar reasons. that lawsuit level discovery that due to a legislative air in 19 o, 6, mississippi did not have an official state flag in 2001 governor. ronnie must grow decided to settle the issue with a statewide referendum,
1:53 am
asking voters to choose between 2 flags, the current flag at the time which had been adopted and $1894.00 and a new design. now the mississippi slag is wavering. at this time, voters will decide if the confederates symbol will fall. the flag of 18941 by nearly 2 to one margin, settling the issue for the time being the flag of 18. 94 was adopted. just 4 years after mississippi had convened the 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 mississippians had regained political control from the majority black population through violence and intimidation, and
1:54 am
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 denied a citizen the right to vote based on race. let's tell the truth. civic 1st, the bottom of the university said we came here to exclude the other convention. delegates confirmed this notion the mississippi constitution of 18. 90 included a poll tax and a literacy test 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 1894 was born. the
1:55 am
colors of a flag draped the planning on putting the flags all over the street. you know, as i got the horizontal plans hanging out. so i was like, well, i'll put some flag with so i'm a true blooded, southern mississippi, mississippi, southern main. right. and, and, and accepted, and i are relishing that because that's who i am. that's who, who i, where my family is coming from. my family has lived in the state of mississippi before it even became a state of the i am a direct descendant of james jefferson. johnson is my great, great great grandfather. he fought in the 41st mississippi infantry and just as my sons of confederate veterans certificates, what really got me this part of a route joining some kind of a confederate organization is because of what's going on in the country and
1:56 am
discrimination against black people discrimination against the jews within scrutinizing or against us. and what about who is currently engaged in southern they accuse us of all being races, you know, and it's a sign of or 1000000 is what the play me. so a lot of people and that's why i like k k and other groups used to play the part that me off the worst is ours, my ancestors would have put a stop to it before you know, a got to the point that is today, where anytime anybody stays at by the automatic of things. take a taping person, the what is referred to as a confederate flag. graphically, it is spanish however, you can't separate it from all that it is stood for and a negative sense. i'd love for us to have a symbol about which people had no evidence whatsoever. we're at the moment we're
1:57 am
or we can do this right and well and respectfully for all involved. i don't like name collins. i don't like 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. and all right, now we need something this, it begin with a whole lot of sketching, a lot of know, taking a lot of research aside really as a living symbol and document and piece of art. but there are 19 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 the 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 the course. my grandfather was the us
1:58 am
senate and he was one of the co offers and the signers of the southern manifesto, which was a reaction against the brown vs board of education. integrated schools. and he was involved in um, we have the impression 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 this dennis flag quickly became popular and caught the attention of state representative kathy sikes, who was the 1st legislator to advocate for the spanish flag as a viable alternative to the flag of 18. 94. the
1:59 am
