Around 50 Confederate flags have been placed on graves by neo-Confederate activists in Eureka Springs cemetery.

A large collection of Confederate flags, permanently installed over the past several years on certain graves in Eureka Springs historic cemetery by a neo-Confederacy group, will remain in place after the town cemetery commission ruled the flags are a form of free speech.
