NAACP plans to intensify state boycott over flag memorial
The NAACP plans border patrols along state lines to broaden protests against South Carolina over the Confederate flag at the State House memorial. Local leaders say timing is unclear while Attorney General Condon calls the plan an illegal second boycott and urges a conference to resolve the issue. The boycott follows the 2000 compromise removing the flag from the Capitol dome and related chambers. Tourism leaders fear uncertainty may affect the industry.
