There are pockets in these regions where you could say time has stood still. History portrays the good and the bad in us but we cannot deny the events that happened. They happened. Hiding the confederate flag does not hide the events that happened. I am not for hiding or removing reminders of the tumultuous history that shaped our country today. It is important for the future generations to know that part of our history. By removing these icons or statues, we are denying the future generations the full knowledge that we have come a long way. We are keeping them in the dark as though robbing them of the knowledge. Will they be better for it?
