Some members of London’s Black community are reacting after a Confederate flag was seen flying prominently on a rural property south of Highway 402.
Trish Kiwanuka spotted the flag while driving on Wednesday and was shocked to see it on its own 10-metre tall flag pole in the middle of a lawn beside a two-storey house.
“It just made my heart stop,” said Kiwanuka. “As a person of colour when you see a symbol of white supremacy from an era when Black people were owned as slaves, it kind of makes you feel nervous.”
