A group of political and religious leaders from Charleston, S.C., are headed to the state's capital, Columbia, to call on lawmakers to remove the Confederate battle flag flying on the State House grounds. But even if they manage to gain the needed votes, it may be months before the flag actually comes down.

Across the nation there has been a growing outcry for the flag to be removed after nine black worshipers were killed by a gunman with allegedly white supremacist views during a prayer meeting in a Charleston church last week.
The push to take down the flag is the latest chapter in a heated debate that has roiled the Palmetto State for more than 50 years, and several political obstacles make any quick resolution of the argument unlikely.
