As a resident of Greenville, and member of ECU's Greek community, I can tell you that this is being blown completely out of proportion.
I think that flag was hanging long before the marchers decided to walk down the street. Although I don't particularly care for someone displaying the Confederate Flag, I do recognize their right to do so.
This entire situation is a direct result of the tension that has been mounting in our city due to the name of a street. They want to change the name of one of the streets that encloses our campus from 5th Street to MLK, Jr. What's the point in changing the street name?! If you want to do something to honor Dr. King, I think we can find something better than a street sign.
