Protests participate in ‘Take Down The Flag’ rally in front of Columbia, South Carolina’s Statehouse
Protesters marched to the front of the statehouse in Columbia, SC this evening to participate in “Take Down The Flag” protest and rally
Protesters marched to the front of the statehouse in Columbia, SC this evening to participate in ‘Take Down The Flag’ protest and rally.
Take Down The Flag was a call to action to remove the Confederate Flag following the senseless tragedy of nine people killed at a historic church in Charleston.
Protestors and Americans across the country are calling for the flag to be removed from statehouse as it symbolizes a long standing history of hate and racism. It’s time for the flag to come down.
