Protesters picket Confederate memorial in Orange

More than a dozen people gathered Monday afternoon at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Orange, holding signs printed with quotes from the famous civil rights leader, calling on the Sons of Confederate Veterans to take down the monument that sits in the shadow of Interstate 10. The "Confederate Memorial of the Wind" hasn't flown a flag for at least six months but was intended to display 32 battle flags for the Texas regiments of the Confederate Army. "To me, it's a slap in the face, it's very disrespectful, especially on MLK Drive," said LaNita Brown.
