Mr. Massie said that such a claim was an attack on the First Amendment and Mr. Williams, along with other members of the Senate, must publicly rescind the "illegal" resolution. Furthermore, Mr.Larkin believed that the playing of the Dixie or the display of the Confederate Flag were not signs of racism and any furor over these issues was just the "minority attempting to force its will on the majority." He further went on to say that the Dixie is a happy and catchy tune while the Confederate flag is a part of American history and "should not be forgotten." According to him, a banning of the Dixie was a sign of bigotry and an attack on "Freedom of Expression of a cultural heritage."

Description An account of the resource This document is a letter from James V. Larkin, Director of Bands at the University of Richmond, to George M. Modlin, the Chancellor and former President of the University of Richmond. Larkin wrote to Modlin because Modlin and his wife had given money to the University Band to travel abroad, but Larkin, along with several student officers, decided to cancel the trip. Larkin felt that it was not in the Band’s and university’s best interest to "undertake something of this magnitude without complete representation and confidence." In regards to the Band’s future, three questions kept coming up: "use of drum majorettes, carrying in the Confederate flag, and the playing of ‘Dixie.’" Though Larkin and Modlin agree on these issues, there was student pressure to address these matters, which had the potential to create controversy or lower student support, so Larkin considered consulting President Heilman.
