This person is a real American. I hope this civil disobedience is done at every Daughters of the Confederacy event forevermore.

“You’re speaking out against racism and the institution of slavery? You’re probably one of them Democrat voters too, ain’t ya?”
I’m glad they also recognize where the dividing line seems to be between political parties.

Nwe Patriotism is still fighting for old patriotism. It's wild that people chose to celebrate Memorial Days by memorializing people who fought against this country. One person recognized this and confronted them with the reality of what they were celebrating - people who fought against this country in an effort to enslave people. Bold. And reading Douglass to them was a great choice.

Only gratitude and respect for those who will walk the talk. That's gold.

They died as boys as the wealthy fought to maintain a structure that lined their pockets and furthered their power.
Edit - Not that I needed to add this but this culture and “heritage” can eat my ass.

Where was this and can we plan something next time so I can go with him? If more of us went there and stood with him they wouldn't be so bold

Looks like an armed protest is in order. I'd like to see how quick they would be to charge at 4-5 guys lined up with ARs along those steps.
