GREENSBORO, N.C. — George Floyd's death, and the subsequent invigoration of Black Lives Matter has been changing the perspective of many.
Take Herb Moniz, for example. He lives in Reidsville but was in downtown Greensboro last week making an appointment to remove a Confederate flag tattoo on his arm.
"I was coming down here for a special trip for getting a tattoo I have covered up," Moniz explained. "My mom's name was Dixie Lee so I got a rebel flag tattoo before I moved here to the south, I'm from southern California."
He said there was no malice behind the tattoo when he got it, but knows how it's perceived.
"When I moved here it had a completely different meaning here in the south," he continued. "I’m not covering up hate or prejudice, I’m covering up my own personal ignorance."
