Glasgow's Grand Ole Opry Votes to End Display of Confederate Flag

The decision, following a narrow 50-48 vote, comes after years of controversy and event cancellations due to the flag's display.

The Grand Ole Opry in Glasgow, Scotland, has voted to end its controversial display of the Confederate flag, a symbol of white supremacy to many, with a narrow 50-48 vote.
The flag has been a part of the club's ceremonies since its opening in 1974, and its removal has been a contentious issue among the venue's members.
The decision to ban the flag came after several years of efforts and resulted in event cancellations, including one from the National Theatre of Scotland, due to the flag's display.
The club's website stated that the Confederate flag was used because the part of America it represents influenced their music, dress, and dance.
The venue also hosts a salute to the Mexican flag, honoring those who died in the 1836 battle of the Alamo in Texas, and sometimes performs the Native American Trilogy, dedicated to the 5 million Native Americans who died at the hands of white men.
