It's a New Day: 4-8-24 Charles G. Sims

Exclusive interview with Charles G. Sims, the 3x great grandson of Confederate Colonel and Sen. James Z George. George was a 3 term United States Senator, Chief Justice of the Mississippi Supreme Court, and the author of the 1890 constitution of the state of Mississippi. George was the driving force behind the poll taxes, literacy tests, and the understanding clause and his legal framework became the blueprint for the other southern states in creating racial codes that became the core of the Jim Crow laws.

Sims is advocating for the removal of George's statue from the US Capitol and a statue of Medgar Evers, a civil rights icon and World War II veteran buried in Arlington National Cemetery, taking the place of George.
