NC: NAACP hosts Sons of Confederate Veterans at Sunday meeting

Via Cousin John

The Catawba County NAACP met with the Sons of Confederate Veterans late Sunday afternoon to discuss the Confederate flag and its use in the Soldiers Reunion Parade in Newton.

Jerry McCombs, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter president, invited the group, which carries the Confederate flag in the parade, to discuss the flag’s meaning.

The idea was to come to a consensus of what the flag represented, McCombs said.

“Preferably, we’ll all be on the same page,” he said before the meeting.
