Gallman’s long Fight to Remove Confederate Flag Moves On
Gallman, a longtime educator and NAACP leader in South Carolina, recalls desegregation battles in Aiken County and his 1996 push to end state support for the Confederate flag.

He notes mixed business impact but ongoing concern for black-owned firms.
