Artists and activists around a purported 13 Southern states followed through on a plan to burn and bury the Confederate flag on Monday, WTVM-TV reported.
“If you don’t see the hate that comes along with it, that has come along with it, if you don’t see the racism behind what has been founded with the usage of it, then you’re ignoring it,” said Terone Allen, who organized a ceremony in Atlanta as part of an exhibit by Sarasota-based artist John Sims.
Artists taking part in the various events shared “eulogies” they composed for the flag before burying it.
“You decided to fight for the wrong side of history,” said a speaker at the Atlanta ceremony, Egypt Robinson X.
