HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (KATV) — Former Hot Springs resident Jacob Hicks thought this was a thing of the past.
"It's definitely disappointing," he said.
He is disappointed that the confederate battle flag, a flag we reported on in August of 2017, when he was petitioning to try take to it down, is back where it once was in Hot Springs
"A symbol of the confederacy,” said Hicks, “of a slave-holding country back up in downtown Hot Springs is troubling."
Last year, the United Daughters of the Confederacy took the flag down due to potential rioting following the tensions of what happened in Charlottesville.
