A caravan of Confederate flag supporters drove around parts of south Florida waving the flag from minivans, cars and semis, according to the Palm Beach Post.
They had nothing to hide. They opened their windows — some even hung out of them — holding Confederate flags for all to see. One climbed through the sunroof of her minivan and waved at stragglers along main roads such as Southern Boulevard, smiling like a candidate. Young, old. Men, women, about 60 in all. They even dressed their dogs in Stars-and-Bars bandanas.
They insisted the Confederate flag isn’t a symbol of intolerance or racism or hate, despite its history as the banner of a group of states that split from the Union over the issue of slavery, or its association to the gunman in last month’s fatal shootings in Charleston, S.C. They said it represents their heritage, and a Southern way of living that’s part of them — and that they don’t want to see vilified.
