Forest Preserve President unilaterally cancels a 27-year event because he doesn't like it for various reasons. He gets push back and reinstates the event, only to cancel it AGAIN days later due to 'safety concerns'. These 'concerns' apparently stem from threats by certain groups to protest the affair. What exactly they'd be protesting is unclear. The only complaints voiced so far have been the appearance of the Confederate flag during the battle and the 'reminder' that slavery once existed in the U.S.
The implication is that Civil War Days and reenactments are inherently racist. I can find NOBODY who's ever actually attended one of these events who agrees with that. Are people really so obtuse?
