As a young woman of sixty, my experience is that there is "no one size fits all" when it comes to religion or politics. That's why etiquette dictates to avoid these two topics in places of business and higher learning. I am compelled to ask the fiscal soundness of building a million dollar monument to glorify the confederate flag especially in light of the recent removal after the terrorist act of an American citizen in a church. Didn't the Pilgrims escape religious oppression and embarked on a dangerous adventure to the agrarian New World? Didn't the Native Americans contribute to their very survival? Didn't the African slaves snatched from Africa help to build the southern economy? Why all the divisiveness in our country. My passport calls me an American Citizen and when I travel abroad I am identified as American. My heart aches that foreign countries have too many reasons to call us "ugly Americans". Please add a voice of sanity to this demonstration of returning to a shameful past of our country. Sincerely, Marcella Dillard
