 Hours after "Black Lives Matter" was spray-painted on monument for "North Carolina's Civil War Governor," H.K. Edgerton stood with a Confederate flag, telling those passing by why he wanted it to continue to fly.


The monument is for Buncombe County native and former North Carolina Governor Zebulon Baird Vance.

Vance was a Confederate military officer during the Civil War.

He organized a company called the "Rough and Ready Guards."

Edgerton, a former president of the North Carolina NAACP and one of few African-American members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, was outside the monument waving the Confederate flag soon after the graffiti was removed.

He said the graffiti artist protested incorrectly.

    1. How about a 50-state secession?
