NASCAR bans Confederate flags from all racetracks
Two days after Bubba Wallace, the lone black driver in NASCAR's three national series, called for the sanctioning body to ban all Confederate flags (https://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/story/_/id/29287025/bubba-wallace-wants-confederate-flags-removed-nascar-tracks) at racetracks, the organization did just that.
"The presence of the Confederate flag at NASCAR events runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans, our competitors and our industry. Bringing people together around a love for racing and the community that it creates is what makes our fans and sport special," NASCAR said in a statement Wednesday. "The display of the Confederate flag will be prohibited from all NASCAR events and properties."

Protesters in Virginia behead Confederate monument statues

Protesters in Virginia beheaded four Confederate statues and pulled down another with a tow rope on Wednesday night.
Photos and videos posted on Twitter showed a demonstrator taking a sledgehammer to the head of one of the statues on the Portsmouth Confederate monument, which was built in the late 1800s and is said to sit at a site where slaves were whipped.
The Portsmouth City Council had set a July 28 hearing to decide on the monument’s fate following demands that it be moved, according to local outlet 13News Now.
But protesters took matters into their own hands, gathering at the monument and covering it in black, green and red spray paint on Wednesday afternoon.
They wrote “Black Lives Matter” and the name of George Floyd, the black Minneapolis man whose police-involved death touched off a global reckoning over racial injustice.
