The South Carolina Senate approved a bill to remove the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds by a 37 to 3 vote, though House approval and the governor's sign off are still required. Governor Nikki Haley has said she will consider the measure.
Haley calls for the flag’s removal and vows to sign the bill as Monday’s vote nears. The move marks under a week since South Carolina removed the flag from the Capitol dome after decades, shifting it beside a Confederate monument. Senator Tom Davis calls the moment a pivotal part of a historic narrative. The issue followed the June 17 Bible study attack at an African-American church.
