It's time to stop shining a light on Confederate icon or traitors. The flag is down. It's time to shake loose the last vestiges of the things that continue to divide us. The KKK was and is a domestic terrorist organization. They do not deserve state-sponsored recognition.

I am a Detroiter. My ancestors fled the south due to what they experienced regarding the terror of the Klan and the rebel flag which is their signature just like the burning cross. It sends a message of hate and intolerance and bigotry and ignorance to the feelings of others.

Macon's City Center (2nd Street) should honor and highlight the best of what Macon has to offer. The confederate statute that currently fills the place is not a reflection of Macon now, and certainly not of our future. Sign this petition if you support replacing the confederate statue with the Otis Redding Statute or a combined community art piece led by artist representing neighborhoods from across Macon-Bibb.

It is an insult and hurtful to millions of Americans and Floridians that have to pass this symbol of the war against the United States by Southern states to withdraw from the Union and to retain slavery.

Delegate Karen Lewis Young, of Frederick, has proposed a bill to change the state song of Maryland. Let us join with Delegate Young to demand that our state no longer endorse Confederate propaganda. You can read the complete lyrics of "Maryland, My Maryland" here: http://msa.maryland.gov/msa/mdmanual/01glance/html/symbols/lyricsco.html

A Confederate monument sits on display at downtown Orlando’s popular Lake Eola Park, a family-centered public space where inclusiveness is celebrated through many events and amenities. The statue's inscription boasts: "This monument shall stand for years to come as our loving tribute to the Confederate soldier and as a memorial of his heroic courage, his unparalleled devotion, and his unselfish patriotism." We ask, what exactly is it that makes a monument of a Confederate soldier an appropriate symbol of patriotism to the United States of America when the goal of the Confederacy was to secede from the United States? This is NOT patriotism. This monument also represents an overt display of pride in the marginalization of, and violence towards, Black people in the South as the Confederacy fought for secession in order to protect Southern supporters of slavery and its presence is entirely unacceptable in this public park. We must learn from our past, but there are much more appropriate places for that learning to take place, such as a state history museum.

Governor Bryant has stated that he will not call a special session of the MS Legislature unless one of the factors was a major economic project. We contend that changing the MS Flag, by removing the Beauregard Confederate Battle Flag in its canton corner, is the most important economic project Mississippi will undertake in its nearly 200-year history.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans are tired of the Ku Klux Klan misusing the Confederate and United States flag for their own perverted purposes.

The Confederate Flag is a historic symbol that invokes the legacy of slavery and racism that defined the American South for generations. It is a symbol held high by the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremicist groups. It is difficult every day for US Military personnel and federal employees to be reminded of the history of racism, fear, division, and inequality while working side by side or treating people that openly display such hateful imagery. Let's follow the lead of South Carolina and remove this racist and hateful flag off of all US Military Bases.

The county administrator had removed the confederate flag after the killings in Charleston SC. The board of county commissioners walked an agenda item onto their meeting agenda and voted to restore the flag.

Texas has decided to change the textbooks for schools by deleting the Civil War, slavery, and other significant events of U.S. history. This should not happen. As a country, we must remember history--good or bad. You cannot delete history. Our children will not know the real facts of history.
