Chanting “Bring it down!”, hundreds of people rallied Tuesday at the South Carolina State House to demand that the Confederate battle flag be removed from the grounds.
They pushed for state lawmakers to follow a call by Gov. Nikki Haley to remove the flag after a white gunman slaughtered nine black people, including a state senator, at a church in Charleston last week.
“It’s time for South Carolina to get past its history,” said J. Elliott Summey, president of the Charleston County Council. “History belongs in a place. It belongs in a museum, not on sovereign ground.”
