What happened to those days when it was cool for... students cheered and waved Confederate flags?

When/where was that cool, exactly?

I think before the Blacks were allowed to participate, AND DOMINATE, college and professional football....

I attended high school in both the Northwest and the Deep, Deep South in the 1970s, and I earned degrees from universities in both the Deep, Deep South and the Northeast in the 1970s, and I don't remember when it was ever cool for bands to play Dixie at both Northern and Southern schools while students cheered and waved Confederate flags.

I remember when it was considered cool at Ole Miss for the band to play Dixie while students cheered and waved Confederate flags.

I went to the article. The illustration was a photo of the 1962 Ole Miss cheerleaders.

That's two years before Andy Goodman, James Chaney, and Michael Schwerner were killed in Philadelphia, Mississippi for registering blacks to vote.
