2 • July 1 - 2, 2020 LOCAL More weekend protests on The Strip in Branson For the second weekend in a row, Black Lives Matters supporters protested outside the Dixie Outfitters store 1819 W. 76 Country Blvd. Protesters are calling for the store to be shut down contending Confederate flags and memorabilia it sells promote racism and hatred. Store supporters argue it sells Southern heritage values. Some supporters of Dixie Outfitters formed a counter protest to Black Lives Mattters waving flags and carrying signs. At least one carried a firearm. The demonstration remained non-violent.
