Former NAACP leader supports Confederate flag

WVLT - Knoxville

- A student fighting for the right to wear the confederate flag in school is getting some unlikely support.

Confederate flag supporter H.K. Edgerton says, “We are Southern, too, but don’t come taking away our place of honor and dignity which is what these folks have done.”

Edgerton is a former NAACP leader and is now a confederate heritage supporter joining the plaintiffs in support of the Confederate flag in Anderson County.

Plaintiff s continued with their testimony in Federal Court Tuesday.

School officials testified that there had been several occurrences of racially motivated incidents, but also said symbols of the flag were not present except for one time when two black students came to Anderson County High School following hurricane Katrina to find a Confederate flag in the school.
