Quote of the Day 6/24/2015

“The lowering and removal of this objectionable reminder of those dark days will symbolize also the lowering of those barriers allowing a person to be judged not by color, but by the content of their character. That has become a symbol of the (Ku Klux) Klan and every other right-wing group. If that offends one of us, it ought to offend all of us.”

-Rep. Don Ross, D-Tulsa, protesting the Confederate flag that used to fly on Oklahoma Capitol grounds. It was taken down in 1988 and never returned (Source).
