Texas has a pair of bronze plaque with the symbol of the Confederacy is shown in the Supreme Court building in the country. Perry, then lieutenant governor, said they should stay, arguing that the people of Texas "we must not forget our history."
It is the consistent position taken when Perry appointed Civil War heritage, because many officials from other countries of the former partners. However, although the organization of defense of South symbols and political institutions may still be far below the Mason-Dixon line, the subject may appear in a different light when officials of seeking national office.
For Perry, now the governor of Texas for 11 years and the level of Republican presidential candidate, the issue of race is lurking.
He took the criticism in recent weeks by the stones without the camp his family once a Texas hunting lease Niggerhead name painted it. Perry campaign said the governor's father, was painted on a stone to block the name as soon as it began renting the place in the 1980's and Perry said the family is not controlled, owned or managed property properties. But his rival Herman Cain, the only black Republican in the race, said that the symbol of racial insensitivity stone against Perry.
Relevant issues may increase this fall if Texas decides whether to allow a special plate that displays the flag of the association. These plates are required by the children of the Veterans Association, a nonprofit organization supported Perry in recent years. A commission appointed by stating that he will decide.
The NAACP said the action against the "glorification" symbol of the slave states remained constant. "The romance of the Old South," said Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP office in Washington. "This is a view of history that ignores how racism became a tool to maintain the supremacy and domination systems."

Perry wrote to the children of veterans association in March 2000, "although it is an emotional issue, I know that I oppose efforts to remove the monument of the association, the board and the memories of public ownership of the property. "
"I also believe that society must decide if the statues or memorials are appropriate for their communities," Perry wrote in the letter, one of many obtained by The Associated Press in requests for public information. "I believe that Texas must remember the past and learn from it."
He added: "We must not forget our history, but in the 19th century brought the necessary attention to our future in the 21st century."
