The Real Confederate Flag Was A Dish Rag, And It's Making A Comeback At The Fabric Workshop & Museum
At the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, in a room near the gallery displaying the Star Spangled Banner, is an old dish rag that’s at least as important to our national heritage as the Stars and Stripes. This towel was briefly flown as a flag on April 9, 1865, when Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Ulysses S. Grant at the Appomattox Court House, ending the Civil War, the Confederacy, and American slavery
.
The dish rag is known as the Confederate Flag of Truce, and the artist Sonya Clark wants it to be the flag we associate with the Confederacy. At the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia, she has engaged master weavers to make more than a hundred of them, including one as big as the Smithsonian's Star Spangled Banner. She's now enlisting the pubic to continue fabrication using traditional looms
