North Carolina exhibit: Confederate flag display at Great American State Fair ignites firestorm [View all]

A Confederate flag display at the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C. was under fire on Friday, according to reports
The flag was part of an interactive exhibit for North Carolina and shared in a viral video shared on X by Reuben Jones, Spectrum News Washington Correspondent.
"I stopped by the North Carolina booth at the 'Great American State Fair' on the National Mall today. The state decided not to participate because of the high costs so the booth is sponsored by private orgs," Jones wrote.
His video panned around the room, showing multiple Confederate flags on television screens mounted to the display's walls.
… more … state says flag was ‘unapproved’ …
(So official state booth gave unofficial approval?)
