hosing that confederate heritage sites in with confederate flags. now the focus of the nations outrage shifted from the killer themselves to the symbol that seem to contain within its borders all the racial hatred and roofs hearts. the backlash was swift. terrific, shooting has recognized the highly sensitive debate over the confederate flag. this flag as will come assembled a murder of racism and hatred. and it is clearly a symbol of this children, the conversation we're having about the confederate flag. it's been about moral empathy, seeing the flag through others eyes. you know, at the moment for society to really do a good check of our values, corporate giants like ebay target and wal mart, 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. it would not be an insult to the malware confederates on the same. we mean and acknowledge that the cause for which they fall. 2 weeks later, the flag came down and south carolina say for i get, getting a lot of attention is all because of this. the rebel banner you

care about me. you care about the play and 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, since they're here, our government is functioning the chosen symbol of a terrorist organization. our state far. i love the 7 or i love the southern bell. i think we have the most beautiful flags we need to fight for. my problem is the safe place to replace 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.

the i was born and raised in the north by iris. 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 senator, who advocated for the expansion of 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 county court house as a monument to confederate soldiers and some of our neighbors splitting the states flag in their yards. something that 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 safe. people are buying mississippi state flags more than usual. evidently, there must be a shortage on a road somewhere in it. a shame 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 photo on both sides union and confederate. but if some people lane laugh, something, bullying, right, well, i lines out we want people to remember our past what our ancestors went through and this tries 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 their mind for themselves. i understood that considered a 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 on the film that i wasn't going to

choose aside mr. date. 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 confederate, govern our purposes, to defend the name of the confederates seldom. and that's the out that you take,

which i take very seriously because of these monuments that you see everywhere or not can, but they're not monuments to the federal government. they're monuments to the, to this soldiers, to the veterans. most of them, but terribly wanted the ship replied that those man masters of some sort in 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 and particularly because the census in 1840 . i think he's the 1st one. so everybody here was 20 years old. everybody to know 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. the desktop,

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 sweetwater 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 grew hands and legs came 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 of the we keep them your mouth open, it does something with a concussion. every flag has its history. it has its broad and dark parts. we won't talk about dark parts, you know, we can mention how slavery was brought in under the us black. 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. so, why not be offended because of, 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. 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 emblem made to us is the african americans. but what can you tell me what it always meant? patriot lynchings, beatings, poverty. why supremacy is she has the disgusting envelope. i feel that way because i leave it

look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept. we're such short ends at conflict with the 1st law. show your mind, anticipation, we should be very careful about our professional intelligence at the point, obviously is to create a trust rather than fit the various jobs. i mean with artificial intelligence, we have so many with the the most protect this phone existence was on the hi. i'm rick sanchez and i'm here to plan with you. whatever you do, you do not watch my new show seriously. why watch something that's so different opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do you have the

state department to see i a weapons bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead, change and whatever you do, don't want myself to stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, it's not, we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way. instead

the, [000:00:00;00] the state is really serious. something's all just references and a flag is always present like it was in south carolina. shy,

black rent. the the thing about this is this is the the lot of phones of consider with veterans and members of the k j. k. i say that they are christian. i just,

it is my hope in my desire that god would push them to put tre. christine, how do you change the heart of a man? no. may not change. so it can, it does change the habits of man. when you begin to change the habits of men for this purpose on the hops will be changed. my mother, she file for welfare weiss for women. they host down with hoses. she still had the bite marks only from the dog. and she also went to jail and i was like to know there's my mamma. why, why? i mean, she's the sweetest person. oh no one was somebody to do that to her it was upheld. and when the news came on about the shooting,

mamma said that don't make no sense if i stood up and went to jail and gab, being for human rights and civil rights, some way of feeling. right? yeah. i'll be able to do something. and when she said, y'all 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 implant from asked a flag is going to be hard, but it's not impossible. you just have to keep pushing it, keep striving. i just thank god for the grace and mercy because you need a whole lot of a lot of people march from g r lynch street to the state capital calling for change

and the state slides, we just need a flag that will unify everyone. the 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 her the ally and lia campbell, an anti flag activist on the mississippi gulf coast for me as a white woman. and if they can come in upon me as a, as a white, mississippi, and 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

i grew up in the south, so i didn't have a sense of the racism that still exist here. and um, it would be nice. i me or anyone else to deny that it says stanley suiting and charleston happened. and i distinctly remember saying that the photo doing res, posing with the confederate florida, and reading his blog post and then watch governor nikki haley has 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 just by the same courage. um,

so i knew i had to get involved were fighting the deal when they everywhere like her. that why is like what we are better than that. mississippi is better than the this wasn't the 1st time mississippians have wrestled over their flag in 1993, the young w i. c p. c with the state to change the flag for familiar reasons. that

lawsuit level discovery that due to a legislative error in 19 o, 6, mississippi did not have an official state flag in 2001 governor. ronnie must grow decided to settle the issue with the statewide referendum, 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 and continued to constitutional convention to write a new state constitution. for 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 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 of it 1st. the bottom of the university said we came here to exclude the other convention. delegates confirmed this notion the mississippi's 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 back of this will flag trade the finder on the flags all over the street. you know, is i got the horizontal lands hanging out. so i was like, well, i'll put some flags out, so i'm a true blooded southern, mrs. mississippi, southern man. right. and, and, and accepted. and i are relishing that because that's who i am. that's who, who i, where are my family is coming from. my family has lived in the state of mississippi before it even became the 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 this is my son's,

a confederate veteran certificate. what really got me this part of a route joining some kind of the confederate organization is because of what's going on in the country and discrimination against black people, discrimination against the jews within scrutinizing or against what a mom is currently engaged in against others. 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, 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, it got to the point that is today, where anytime i say that by that automatically seems k taping person, the what is referred to as a confederate flag. graphically, it is started however, you can 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 just had no evidence whatsoever. we're at a moment where 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. so we have 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 to 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 might seem stars along the outer edge, we were the 20th state to join the union. the color red symbolizes passion, and blood shows the colour white as a field because it,

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 offers and signers of the southern manifesto which was a reaction against the brown vs board of education integrating schools. and he was involved in um, you know, 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 this dennis flag quickly became popular and caught the attention of state representative kathy sikes who was the 1st and legislator to advocate for the status flag as a viable alternative to the flag of 18. 94.

the students, the beginning of its history, the united states of america has officially declared this driving for freedom and people's rights to happiness. however, in reality, having won independence, american colon is tested for the total extermination of the indigenous population of the continent. american indians were deprived of their land. local residents were driven into reservations given the worst agricultural territories, while the best land was appropriated by white colonizer, the strongest blow to american indian tribes, was the extermination of vice of native americans lived by hunting these wild animals. colonists slaughtered by events and in fact, made them nearly extinct. every buffalo dead is in india and gone, said colonel richard dogs, a veteran of the bloody and vicious indian wars cynically. the indigenous

population was simply exterminated us. army general philip sheridan expressed the evidence of this policy in the infamous words. the only good india is a dead indian. the genocide of native americans of north america lead to a demographic catastrophe. the exact number of deaths is still a note, but the number of victims in millions having been a majority on the continent before the indigenous people make up less than 3 percent of the us population today. the. i'm a representative side to the rally in washington, d. c. t introduced this dentist while i do a gathering of mississippians who had travelled there to demand a new state flag by lawrence. that is, i love this because, and the thing is, you know, we had
