A two-hour vigil, to protest what participants termed yet another sign of “cultural genocide,” based on a decision last spring when a student at Flat Rock Middle School was warned that she could not continue wearing a T-shirt with Confederate flag on it to school, was staged by three persons early Tuesday morning across the street from the school.

Led by H.K. Edgerton, an Asheville-based activist who promotes the recognition of Southern blacks who fought on the side of the South in the Civil War, the trio stood with a pair of Confederate battle flags at the corner of West Blue Ridge Road and Smythe Street.

Edgerton, clad in a uniform of the war-era, added, “I’d very much like to go in and talk to the school.” He noted that Confederate memorabilia should be allowed at school, that students should be told about the heroics of blacks soldiers fighting for the South during February, which is Black History Month, and the Civil War should be taught accurately, since this year is the war’s sesquicentennial.
