Use of Confederate flag as memorial questioned
When Austin Smothers and a few others recently decided to place Confederate flags on their pickup trucks to honor the death of a friend, they also raised a few eyebrows.
We never meant it to be a racist thing to anybody, said Smothers, a Baraboo High School junior. We wanted to honor our friend, Joshua Blum, who had just died. We wanted to show we cared for him.
Blum died Feb. 20 in a crash after the pickup he was driving overturned in Marquette County. Blums father, Tim, said his son didnt wear his seat belt and thats what killed him. However, a passenger in the truck wore a seat belt and survived.
Smothers said he and the others at Baraboo High School often drove their trucks around the city with the Confederate flag waving in the back.
