Frank Evitts wrote in The Berlin Sun, Thursday, Feb. 11, that there is “no hint of racism” in the Confederate flag. He explained that this flag represents the freedom and rights guaranteed by the Constitution, that the secessionists were not rebels or traitors, that the Confederacy stood for the “principles of the Founding Fathers,” and that the bad stuff, the KKK and the Jim Crow laws, issued from Democrats (not Republicans, he implies) after the Civil War was over.
Mr. Watkins, that is one of the most informed letters I have ever read on the subject, and perfectly responsive to the fictional Evitts letter. However, the Evitts letter appeared in Conway as well. Those readers are also in need of the truth. Please ask the Conway editor to publish your letter there. I have requested that as well.

accounts, the history behind an article.
