In today’s political climate, our nation is divided in more ways than one. Yet, there’s a truth often forgotten amidst the shouting—America’s strength has always been its diversity, not just of its people but of its history.

This includes the Bonnie Blue Flag and the legacy of the Confederacy, but in a way that’s about respect and understanding rather than division.
