Cathedral to remove glass Confederate flags
The Washington National Cathedral will replace depictions of the Confederate flag in its stained-glass windows with plain glass but maintain adjoining panes honoring Confederate generals for at least two years while it fosters discussions about the church and race relations.
A task force spent six months determining what to do with the two windows after former cathedral dean Gary Hall, responding to the murders at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, declared, “It is time to take those windows out.”
The man charged with the crime embraced the Confederate flag.
