A billboard promoting equality placed in response to the Confederate flag

Cars sped past a billboard Tuesday going north toward Eldon, Missouri. The billboard promoting equality was placed in response to the Confederate flag on the side of U.S. 54.

Amanda Burrows makes frequent trips from her hometown of Tuscumbia to the Lake of the Ozarks.

While driving down U.S. 54 last spring, she spotted an enormous Confederate flag planted on a grassy knoll south of Eldon. She said it didn’t sit well with her.
