The South Carolina Senate has voted and the vote was overwhelming – 37 to 3 in favor of removing the confederate flag from Statehouse grounds in the state!
“We now have the opportunity, the obligation to put the exclamation point on an extraordinary narrative of good and evil, of love and mercy that will take its place in the history books,” said Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort.
Lawmakers had largely ignored the flag until the killing of nine black people during a Bible study at a historic African-American church on June 17.
