Description
"To some in our community, the Confederate flag is seen as a symbol of treason, white supremacy, racial terror, exclusion and the inhumane enslavement and debasement of Africans in America," the task force report also stated."
"The task force report also outlined the projected costs of removing the seal, including $15,000 for removal of the seal from the old Williamson County Courthouse's terrazzo tile floor, which can also be temporarily covered up with a $20 rug, the report stated."
"While the county was incorporated back in 1799, the official seal hadn’t been adopted until July of 1968 at the height of the Civil Rights movement. It’s this timing, along with studies that show increased adoption of public Confederate symbols coinciding with progress made or demanded by Black communities, that led some residents to believe that the seal’s initial adoption had intentions other than just preserving history."
