Confederate Battle Doesn’t End in South Carolina as Petitions Spread Across Country

As South Carolina prepares to remove the Confederate flag from the state Capitol on Friday, politicians and regular citizens across the country are clamoring to eliminate similar iconography.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Thursday signed into law a measure to take down the Confederate battle flag after weeks of long, emotional debate. It will be permanently lowered at 10 am. ET.

The flag at South Carolina’s Capitol has been the most heavily debated, but it is unlikely to be the last Confederate flag to be removed from prominence. NBC.com
