Georgia flag battle grows as Barnes resists push
In Atlanta AP report, Governor Barnes says he will not push changing Georgia’s flag next year while Confederate emblem remains on the state banner. Lawmakers and civil rights leaders debate the issue, recalling Zell Miller’s failed 1993 bid and South Carolina’s tourism boycotts. Georgia, like Mississippi, still features the Confederate emblem on its flag.
