Holy crap, #WesMoore wasn't saying we should change the flag in that interview! The quote's being taken way out of context. The point he made about the Gold and Black being used by the Union and the Red and White being used by the Confederates is just a true observation. #Maryland is below the Mason Dixon line... Frederick Douglass was a slave in #Baltimore .

Also... "96.4% of 5,114 respondents opposed changing the state’s flag." We have the best flag in the #USA IMHO.
