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.
