Amanda Burrows doesn’t disagree with anyone’s right to free speech; in fact, she says it is one of the rights that makes America great.
Nor is she on a crusade to remove what she believes is a symbol of racism and oppression, a large Confederate flag, that has been put up on private property overlooking Highway 54 near Eldon.
What she does hope to accomplish is to send a stronger message of hope and acceptance.
Burrows has spearheaded an effort to raise money for a billboard that sits next to the large flag, with a simple yet powerful message: Equality, bigger than hate.
