Elizabeth Farnsworth leads a debate. For months this sight atop the South Carolina capital has been the topic of passionate local and national debate. The U.S. and South Carolina state flags flying above the flag long considered a symbol of the confederacy.
Supporters see the flag as an emblem of the state's rich heritage.
Opponents say it glorifies slavery and segregation. South Carolina has been the only state still flying that flag over government property. But last week South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges signed a bill to take it down. This debate is over. Let us move forward together and united.
