Divisive Confederate flags in Harrison

Dan Horn here with a story about how one man's decision to fly Confederate flags on his property upended several lives in Harrison, Ohio.

Photographer Albert Cesare and I went to Harrison to learn how everyone got into this, and how they might find their way out.
