Public Safety is investigating 10 Confederate flag fliers found hanging Tuesday night in three buildings, Battelle-Tompkins, McKinley and the Mary Graydon Center, Vice President of Campus Life Fanta Aw said Tuesday at 11:56 p.m. The Eagle located another flier in the basement of the Kogod School of Business.

Some of the fliers were found hanging beneath a Center for Israel Studies sign in Battelle-Tompkins and on a bulletin board outside the Center for Diversity and Inclusion in MGC.

The fliers were pinned to bulletin boards with cotton stalks taped to them. The posters also had the phrases “Huzzah for Dixie” in large letters and “I wish I was in the Land of Cotton” in smaller font. The back of the fliers had the words “D.C. Counter Resistance” inscribed above a logo of two white ovals over a black background. DCist reported that fliers bearing the same name and logo were discovered near Takoma in August.

The incident occurred on the same night that Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, a new professor who founded the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at AU, gave a presentation about his plans for the center.
