You mean the article about Daniel Hollis, the last survivor of the Centennial Commission? That included this line:

Hollis said he doesn't recall any racist or political overtones within the commission regarding the hoisting of the flag.

Dr Hollis doesn't support the contention that the flag was raised in defiance of the Civil Rights Bill and/or the school desegregation decision of 1955. The article says:

Hollis remembers the day the Confederate flag was hoisted over the State House to commemorate the war. The centennial kicked off on April 11, 1961, with a re-creation of the firing on Fort Sumter. The flag went up for the opening celebrations.

I told you the flag was raised to commemorate the Centennial of the Civil War, and that insults you. Well, the article Coby posted must insult you, too, because it says the very same thing. Imagine that.
