The Catoosa County News in Ringgold, Ga., has the story:
Ringgold had an unusual visitor Wednesday, March 12. H.K. Edgerton, of Asheville, N.C. staged a peaceful protest against the Ringgold City Council’s decision to remove the Confederate Battle Flag from above the Depot downtown in 2005.
Edgerton, who bills himself as the immediate past president of the NAACP chapter in Asheville, stood on the steps of the Depot waving a Confederate Battle Flag mounted on a bamboo pole and waving at passersby.
Edgerton said he is also the chairman of the board of advisors emeritus to the SLRC (Southern Legal Resource Center), headquartered in Black Mountain, N.C. The SLRC, he said is taking steps to file a lawsuit against the Ringgold City Council for removing the Confederate Battle Flag.
