National Cathedral dean wants to remove Confederate flag windows

0

Cathedral Dean Gary Hall, of the Washington National Cathedral, declared that the windows honoring Confederate generals and including the flag should be removed. Two stained glass panels depict battle scenes with General Stonewall Jackson and General Robert E. Lee and include the Confederate flag. The panels were added in 1953 to promote unity, but Dean Gary Hall believes that the use of the Confederate flag today represents white supremacy and promotes racial conflict. He says that the cathedral should instead depict the history of race and slavery in the United States on the windows.
