South Carolina to remove Confederate flag from Statehouse grounds
Governor Nikki Haley called for taking down the Confederate flag after the Emanuel Church massacre. She urged a summer vote in the General Assembly or a special session to remove the banner, citing its divisive symbolism amid Dylann Roof's murder charges. Support from both parties and leaders across the state followed, with discussions about relocating the flag to a museum.
