Places Not to Drive with a Confederate License Plate

Places Not to Drive with a Confederate License Plate:

The Texas Sons of Confederate Veterans recently petitioned the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to issue a license plate featuring the Confederate flag.

The latest census figures show that Latinos, African Americans and Asian Americans collectively make up 55 percent of the state’s population.
