Rccd, who ia 1970 became one the first blacks to

the issue and had said he would not take any action

n But Rccd said Monday he had withdrawn his
e final compromise offer and "it is time for mc to

His last proposal would have allowed the state to

e atop the Capitol since 1961.
The Stars and Bars has three broad, red-and
e white stripes, with a blue field in the corner with a
il circle of stars. The Rebel battle flag is the more
le familiar "Dixie" flag. fra }
State Rep. Alvin Holmes said he will introduce a
v. resolution in the Legislature to move the Confedo
crate battle flag from atop Capitol to the First
White House of the Confederacy, where the Stars
tn and Bars now flies.
The battle flag, also known as the naval jack,
a was raised at a time of bitter segregationist
le resistance in Alabama, said Holmes.
ce The raising of the flag, coinciding with the Civil
War centennial of 1961, was an act "in defiance of
al the federal government." Gov. George C. Wallace
to took office two years later with the pledge of
"segregation forever," and the flag has remained.
