"Opponents of the flag see it as an ugly reminder of the region’s racist history. For others it has been a symbol of pride."

'“Some will argue with that but I think for an awful lot of white Southerners, it is a symbol of their tribe, connected to the Civil War,” Wyman said, adding that their pride comes from what they see as a fight for freedom, not on memories of slavery"'

'“It’s honorable to fight for the freedom of your country. But they overlook this side that others see as an emblem of racism,” Wyman said.'
