Historical Footnote


My high school banned this flag on its campus in 1972.

Stardate 7-7- 2020, supplemental: It was also the SECOND LARGEST CONFEDERATE FLAG IN THE WORLD! It was carried onto the field by 22 "Lee Gentlemen" who would hold it up for the football team to run under.

I have often wondered what became of it--and where and how large the LARGEST one was.

It's funny, I vaguely remember this, but everytime I do, I think I must be wrong.  Memory is weird that way.

I think it covered at least half a football field.  Close to it, anyway.
