The group, which calls itself White Lies Matter, earlier this week said they would give the chair to the United Daughters of the Confederacy if the organization agreed to hang a banner outside its Richmond, Va. Headquarters.
They demanded that the UDC hang the banner at 1 p.m. Friday - the anniversary of the Confederacy’s surrender in the Civil War and leave it there for 24 hours.
The banner bears a quote from Assata Shakur, a Black Liberation Army activist wanted by the FBI for the 1973 murder of a New Jersey state trooper: “The rulers of this country have always considered their property more important than our lives.”
