The documentary “Colored Confederates” will be shown at 10 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m.
Earl Ijames, curator of community and black history at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh, will introduce the film and be available to answer questions and moderate discussion.

  1. There was a black man in Perry, Ga who dressed in the Confederate uniform
    and carried the Confederate flag every day for yrs and walked all over town.
    Gov. Purdue when running for Gov. was suppose to put the 1956 Ga flag on the
    ballot for vote, he promised, and did not. Much anger over this lie. Blacks were
    also spies for the North.
