WINDHAM — I am writing to bring attention to the local business in Townshend whose owner chooses to hang the confederate flag outside his store in such a provocative manner.
I wonder what his reasoning is. Is he trying to drum up business? Is he trying to drum up another war? Does he have something to say to the black people who live in the area? Is he pro-slavery?
Please let us all know, sir. My 9-year-old son will be asking me questions when we drive by your “display,” as we do every week. Please, is there something I'm missing?
The African-American people in my family also would like an explanation.
Please.
