Officials in Charleroi Borough have taken some heat after their “Virtual Community Days” celebration featured a band that displayed a Confederate Flag on stage. At Tuesday’s council meeting, David Hunter, president of the Mon Valley NAACP, addressed council after he said residents contacted them about the event that took place on borough property and in the presence of borough officials back in October. Hunter said, “it sends a very bad message because that flag is a symbol of the Confederacy, slavery, and discrimination.” Council President, Mark Alterici, offered an apology on behalf of council and said the videos have since been removed from social media. It is estimated that 10-15 thousand viewers watched the virtual concerts due to the pandemic. The band, Six Gun Sally, is a local Southern/Classic Rock band. Both council and the NAACP say they want to work together to prevent issues like these from happening again and to address the lack of diversity among borough employees and regional police officers.
