This is an amazing time in which to live. Since June 18, the Pope took powerful stands on environmental and weapons issues and the U.S. Supreme Court voted to preserve the Affordable Care Act and to uphold the rights of gays and lesbians to marry.
Due to a horrific shooting in South Carolina, Confederate flags are coming down across the South and there is a movement to have it removed from the South Carolina statehouse. Businesses such as Walmart, eBay, Target, Sears, Etsy, and Amazon have banned sales of the flag.
A friend just sent me a video that talks about the history of the Confederate flag. I learned much from watching it and thought some of you might also be interested in viewing it.

Yes! I remember these flags from middle school history class! God, we take two steps forward and two backward. So much hate. So much ignorance. But church every Sunday.

True, but I’m feeling a lot of hope right now. Things are happening that I never thought I would see in my lifetime… or at least not now!

Oh they are definitely alive. This is pre-election time and the candidates that are against these things are in shock and disbelief. A friend sent me this video last night.

Thank you for sharing the video, I plan to share with my children and grands when I visit Wisconsin later this week. I was saddened by what happened in Emmanuel AME Church and South Carolina; and, I am beginning now to wonder if there will be a backlash because of the pending removals of Confederate Flags. When will we “let go” of the “isms in this country?

I’m hoping … and believing … it is the beginning of a major change, for the better. Last week was amazing.
