Great Robinson column

July 02, 2015 12:00 am • Last Updated: July 02, 2015 3:53 pm

What a well-written, accurate, and beautiful column by Eugene Robinson, "Ending Confederacy in every manifestation," (June 29)! This was such an important piece of history written to all of us. The Confederate flag exhibits hate, and evil, and has caused so much fear and pain, especially for African-Americans. Our nation is a wonderful one, and we should make it even better by eliminating the Confederate flag.
