Confederate flags placed around King Center, Ebenezer Baptist Church

Several Confederate flags were found around the King Center and Ebenezer Baptist Church Thursday morning.

According to Ebenezer Baptist Church Rev. Raphael Warnock, Atlanta police and the National Parks Association have removed the flags from the campus.  Atlanta police confirms four small flags were found laying on the property.

Atlanta police chief George Turner says surveillance video showed two white males placing the flags at the King Center and Ebenezer Baptist Church.

Atlanta police say the people who placed the flags could face charges including criminal trespassing, terroristic threats and littering.

Ebenezer Baptist Church consists of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s boyhood home and the original Ebenezer Baptist Church, the church where King was baptized and both his father, Martin Luther King, Sr., and he were pastors.

Some people who state the flag is about heritage have the best of intentions and don’t intend for there to be any malice, these are not those kind of people.
