Watch South Carolina's Confederate Flag Get Taken Down, For Good
Latest
On Friday, South Carolina removed the Confederate flag that has flown over the state’s capitol for more than 50 years. As the Highway Patrol Honor Guard marched and removed the symbol, protestors both for and against its removal crowded around and yelled things like “take it down!”
Moving forward, the flag will be displayed in the State Museum’s Confederate Relic room near its original home, the capitol. Meanwhile, on Thursday in Washington, D.C., according to the Washington Post, House Speaker John Boehner led a review of whether Confederate symbols should be displayed on federal land, including those displayed in and around the capitol.
