It’s interesting how they changed the Georgia flag to the confederate flag when it was a flag of a group who rebelled against the Union and so it’s like they’re saying “We’re rebelling against this outlaw of segregation in schools” And essentially saying “Hey we’re kinda on the Plessy v. Ferguson case, you guys shouldn’t have sided with Brown” and then there’s the official Georgia Stamp meaning Georgia more than likely supported this backlash on the outlaw

They're opposing each other and judging their decisions as a way of saying “Hey…You guys are weird”

Answer 1

The 1956 Georgia flag, which incorporated the Confederate battle emblem, emerged as a response to the monumental Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which deemed racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. This change symbolized the state's resistance to desegregation and reflected the broader societal tensions surrounding civil rights in Georgia, marking a pivotal moment in the state's struggle with its complex racial history.
