Personally, I want the Confederate battle flag to fly high. It is a symbol for me. It references the struggles of my ancestors on my behalf. Lastly, I do not blame or assign guilt for slavery-related atrocities to anyone living today. No one owes me an apology or one red cent for reparations.
History is the past.
Let the flags fly. We have some serious issues that require our immediate attention, like the education of our children and the health care of our seniors. Let the flags fly. As a person of faith and goodwill in our community and as president of the Greater Atlanta Interfaith Alliance, I must take issue with a letter to the editor by Norman Davisworth about the voter guides prepared by the Christian Coalition. As someone who understands the history of these partisan guides, I must disagree.
