This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 321: Black students and some whites protested the Old South parade in 1992. Most blacks considered the Kappa Alpha event a racist reminder of their ancestors in slavery. To the fraternity, the parade celebrated positive Old South values and did not condone slavery. Many white students, standing across the street from the blacks, expressed support for the parade by waving Confederate battle flags. ... The apparent near-violence in 1992 helped persuade Kappa Alpha to voluntarily discontinue the parade in 1993. Photo source: Auburn Plainsman, Auburn University Archives. |
