HFS-In this May 18, 2017 photograph, attorney Michael Cavanaugh of Biloxi, Miss., says he supports the decision by Mayor Andrew "FoFo" Gilich to remove the Mississippi flag from display at city buildings because the flag includes the Confederate battle emblem. Cavanaugh says he graduated from a Catholic high school in Biloxi in 1967 where the mascot was the Rebels and students waved the Confederate flag. He says he considered that to be school spirit, but he believes the Confederate emblem has been "hijacked" since then by the Ku Klux Klan and other groups. (AP Photo /Emily Wagster Pettus)
