Flag Lowering Creates Misunderstandings In late October, a number of students opposed to the war in Vietnam, decided that an effective gesture of their sentiments would be to lower the flag to half-mast in memory to the thousands of American and Vietnamese (of both sides) who have died in America’s war against the People of Vietnam. Originally planned for October 15, the moratorium, the lowering had to be postponed, because someone removed the flag from the pole. On the day of the lowering, the flag must have gone up and down ten times in the morning. At lunch time, several administrators — after suspending one student — came outside and stood around the flag pole to prevent students from lowering the flag. A large crowd of several hundred students gathered, but because their was little student understanding for the action, many students were opposed to it — and when someone waved around a black flag with a large hole in it, most Black students were effectively alienated from the students lowering the flag. The situation was further aggravated by Mr. Smith (a black dean’s assistant) who racially divided the students by accusing white students of using black students for their own goals. The crowd broke up after lunch, and the students who planned the flag-lowering learned quite a bit about where BHS students are at.
