This article is a few months old, but found it while looking for the museum on Google.
I did a search and found nothing on it in past threads so thought to drop it here in the "Sinks" for discussion/infomation. Interesting name that it was changed to. It would raise a few eyebrows from those of Southern heritage.
Reason given for change:
"It was the Confederate Museum until 1996," replied museum guide Judith Perry. "There was a lot of fuss about Confederate flags, and the Executive Committee ordered the change."
My question....are any of the flags still there on display or were they taken down so as not to offend anyone that may be going there by choice for a visit?
Just some information so that we can all use the correct source name.:wink_smil
