Michael Caldwell argued that although the flag symbolizes history and heritage, it also scrapes on the scars of those that suffered from hate and racism. “It is never too late to right a wrong. Now is time to take the flag down from government offices or entities. For me, there is a sole flag above all others: the red, white and blue one that I love as an American”, Michael expressed. He continued to argue, “…Although the flag represented our history, a large part was built on the exploitation of human beings and should never be celebrated.” (Hate, oppression should never be celebrated). It is plausible to see someone fighting to making his voice heard for the satisfaction of an oppressed group. It doesn’t take moving a mountain to put one’s point across, but the little effort would inspire another to also stand up for him or herself. Like MLK Jr. said, “where a man stands in challenging times proves his worth, so why settle for anything less than being a human being just like everyone else? Why not give a speech in school about discrimination to motivate another oppressed person, or step in for someone being mistreated or report a situation where someone was being unfair because of difference in color rather than being a silent witness? “Rome was not built in a day”- the little one does now may amount to something worthwhile later
