South Carolina Lawmakers vote To remove confederate flag from state house
In a 37-3 vote, the South Carolina Senate has decided to remove the Confederate flag from State House grounds.

In a 37-3 vote, the South Carolina Senate has decided to remove the Confederate flag from State House grounds.
However, the physical act of removing the Confederate flag may take some time, NBC reports:
The movement to take down the flag has two more hurdles: The bill needs to pass with a two-thirds vote in the South Carolina House, which is likely to be a tougher struggle than in the Senate. Several powerful House Republicans, including Speaker Jay Lucas, have not yet said how they’ll vote. If the bill passes the house, it would head to the desk of Gov. Nikki Haley, who has said the flag’s removal would be a way to honor the nine black victims gunned down by a white gunman at a Charleston church.
