    Confederate battle flag had flown outside San Francisco’s Civic Center since 1964 as part of an 18-flag display intended to symbolize the various stages of American history, according to contemporaneous news reports.

    In case you are like me and wondering why there was even a Confederate flag flying at San Francisco city hall.

      18flag display turns into 20 years of open hostility to people of color.

      They should name that school after Bradley. They should name the street after him too and put up a statue with a placard saying something like “A hero climbs any height for justice, especially when no one else will”. Give the kids something to ruminate on for their tenure there.

        For real. Imagine a place like Germany honoring all it’s flags. It’s okay to forget a few of the bad flags.

    We found him in South Carolina. He is 70-years-old and said he would climb any pole if it meant getting rid of the Confederate flag.

    “Yes I will. It represents the ugliness in the world that we live in,” he told ABC7 News.

    We asked him if the name Dianne Feinstein should be removed from that school because she ordered the flag to be replaced after he took it down, not once but three times.

    “They should have the name removed from the school. She does not represent what makes the people happy and what’s good in the world we live in or in San Francisco,” he added.

    Yet that flag was there when George Moscone was mayor of San Francisco, before Feinstein. He did not take it down yet, there is a school named after him and the board is not removing his name. Bradley says Moscone’s name should also be taken down.

    At least one of the school board members suggested that perhaps they should name a school after Bradley. He said it wouldn’t be a bad idea.

    “I believe in helping the kids and having the kids have something to look up to that they can represent and the kids will be happy,” he said.

    He had this message for the members of the school board:

    “Keep students in this country that we live in looking forward and looking at what represents them and what’s good for America,” he said with a smile.

    We love to see it. Bree Newsome pulled one from out front of SC state capitol in 2015.
