Maurice Bessinger was a restaurant owner in the the deep south of America who famously defended the ownership of slaves in the country. He would fly Confederate battle flags near all of his restaurants and made his establishments unwelcoming to black Americans even after desegregation. He sold small plots of land near his establishments so that after his death the flags would continue to be shown there.
