Confederate Flags Policy Raised at Eureka Springs Cemetery Commission Meeting

Nearly 50 Confederate flags have been placed in the Eureka Springs Cemetery by an outside Neo-Confederate group.

A proposal by Eureka Springs City Council Member Harry Meyer to strictly limit Confederate flag decorations in the town cemetery was met by angry opposition at a cemetery commission meeting last week. The proposal aims to stop a Neo-Confederate group from placing permanent Confederate flags on Confederate veterans' graves.
