"A Florida artist has vowed to stage burnings and “belated burials” of the Confederate flag as part of an exhibit he said would take place in multiple Southern cities on Memorial Day, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
“The Confederate flag is a flag of terror from its use by the [Ku Klux] Klan in the ’20s to the anti-civil rights movement in the ’50s and ’60s,” John Sims said. “The flag is almost too toxic to handle, and for those who do, I’m suspicious of their engagement. Are you in denial?”
The project is reportedly slated to take place in all of the former Confederate states, along with cities in Kentucky and Missouri. The exhibit is the latest in a series of works Sims has done involving the flag, saying he was inspired by how often he saw it after moving to Florida."
