## Transcript

The confederate flag flying on the South Carolina statehouse grounds, that's caused so much controversy recently, came down briefly though not by the state's own choosing. Early in the morning, a woman climbed the flag pole, located next to a confederate soldier's memorial, and removed the flag. A press release sent to the media shortly after the event said activists wanted to remove the symbol of white supremacy that inspired the massacre in Charleston. Since prosecutors say 21 year old Dylan Roof entered a Charleston Church and killed nine black members. Critics of the flag have renewed their calls to have it taken off government grounds saying it's an emblem of hate.

The people who put out the press release said the effort to take down the flag was organized by local folks and identified the woman who climbed the flagpole as Bree Newsome. Newsome's website says she's an activist from North Carolina who has been arrested before Four for protesting voting rights there. The press release quotes her as saying, we removed the flag today because we can't wait any longer. We can't continue like this another day. It's time for a new chapter where we are sincere about dismantling white supremacy. And building toward true racial justice and equality. The Confederate flag in South Carolina has been a divisive issue to say the least.

Shortly after the shootings, seasoned lawmakers essentially dodged questions. And told reporters that the flag is part of the states heritage. Earlier in the week though, governor Nikki Haley also began advocating for the flag Flags removal. Though she previously brushed off the issue during a re- election debate. Newsom was arrested for removing the flag shortly after organizers tweeted they'd been told the flag would be put back up later in the morning.
