Charleston KIl lings revisit Confederate memory a year on
A year after the Emanuel AME church killings, Charleston preserves Confederate street signs and a Fort Sumter statue, while debates over removal of symbols and names persist. Gov Haley and lawmakers resist broader changes, citing unity and history, as Tillman’s statue and flag remain. Local NAACP leaders urge action amid enduring racial tensions and public memory.
