Help Us Locate Confederate Flags Around New York

WNYC News | Aug 16, 2017

We want your help!

We want to know how a symbol that to some represents Southern pride and to others racism came to be embraced here in New York, far away from the Mason-Dixon line. 

In your travels around the state, have you seen a Confederate flag? And if you live in New York and display the Confederate flag, tell us why you own one ... and what it means to you.

This project isn't about outing anyone, it's about starting a conversation. Your participation will help us understand more about how people across the state see themselves in this complicated symbol.

Have you seen the flag?

Do you display the flag?
