I am the brother of H.K Edgerton. H.K. passed away today peacefully at the Veterans Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina. H.K. was best known for his Southern civil rights activism. H.K. is renowned for his activism of the Southern rights and the Battle Flag also known as the Confederate Flag.

He saw the people of the South discriminated against for using confederate symbolism and he fought vigorously to support them. He frequently appeared in the news and was featured in several television programs. The inspiration for the “March Across Dixie” was due to the discrimination of the confederate flag and how officials were punishing students and others for donning the Confederate Flag on clothing and other memorabilia. He was an advocate for southern pride and against the removal of monuments and Confederate Battle Flag.

Unfortunately H.K. did not have life insurance and we have limited funds available for a decent funeral celebration.

We are asking for donations for his funeral services so we can give him a proper burial to celebrate his life.
