→Confederate flag
On [[January 25]], [[2000]], [[Pensacola City Manager]] [[Tom Bonfield]] decided to replace the battle flag with the [[Wikipedia:Flags of the Confederate States of America#First national flag ("the Stars and Bars")|Stars and Bars flag]], which was deemed more appropriate and "historically correct" by local historians, on several City of Pensacola facilities. The [[Pensacola City Council]] voted 7-2 on [[February 10]] to confirm the use of the Stars and Bars flag instead of the battle flag. On the same day, however, the [[Escambia County Commission]] voted unanimously to keep the battle flag.
In [[2015]], after the [[wikipedia:Charleston church shooting|Charleston church shooting]], the Confederate flag was replaced by the Florida state flag.<ref>http://www.pnj.com/story/news/2015/06/25/city-pensacola-remove-confederate-flag/29284051/</ref>
