Southern Delaware town funds museum that continues to fly a Confederate flag

A council member who shepherded funds to the museum says the party doesn’t aim to “stir up anything.” An NAACP leader says it doubles down on “white supremacy.”

The second vote to fund Georgetown’s Marvel Museum comes after the state AG said Council violated open meeting laws when they re-issued a $25,000 check.

The mayor had thought the grant was “dead in the water” because town law was violated. Instead, the Georgetown Historical Society received and cashed the check.
