DETROIT — People critical of the NAACP’s decision to honor Kid Rock at its annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner burned a Confederate flag Sunday afternoon in front of the event’s downtown Detroit venue.
The Grammy-nominated artist has displayed the flag during some stage performances. The Macomb County, Mich., native whose real name is Robert Ritchie was to receive the civil rights organization’s Great Expectations Award on Sunday night.
Detroit NAACP President Wendell Anthony has said Ritchie was being honored for his advocacy of the city.
