In light of the recent escalation of race-related murders, it is time for South Carolina to remove the Confederate Flag from its grounds at the state capital in Columbia, SC.
Why is this important?
I live about an hour from Charleston and have lived in South Carolina for nearly 35 years. The black people of this state deserve to live in peace and security. It is indefensible for the State of South Carolina to continue to promote a symbol of racism, division and and inequality. It is offensive and needs to be put in a museum of history, not publicly displayed as something of which to be proud.
