Confederate heritage group says art show desecrates flag

September 02, 2004/ Tron Nick

A Confederate heritage group is angry about an upcoming art exhibit at Gettysburg College -- adjacent to the battlefield -- that it says desecrates the Confederate flag and is nothing more than a display of hate designed to stir up controversy and hard feelings. Members of the Sons of Confederate Veteranssay they're planning to stage a protest tomorrow in response to the opening of the show that will depict a lynching of the Confederate flag. "The Recoloration Proclamation: The Gettysburg Redress," was created by artist John Sims to examine the meaning of the Confederate flag then and now. The show, which opens tomorrow at Schmucker Art Gallery, includes the familiar-looking flag in alternative colors and features a flag lynching in one piece called, "The Proper Way to Hang a Confederate Flag."
