Aiken flag raising at Confederate monument sparks clash
Heritage Coalition activists organized a flag raising at the Aiken County Confederate memorial in a roadway and parkway after the city council denied a request by the Sons of the Confederate Veterans to fly three flags overnight. The pole was dug and concrete poured, then removed about 30 minutes later by city maintenance. City officials condemned the act and prepared for potential legal action by Salley and the Southern Legal Resource Center, while critics urged adherence to the law and public safety.
