NAACP Still After Flag in SC

Meeting in Cincinnati, the NAACP leaders have vowed to continue on with their fight against the Confederate flag flying on the state capitol grounds in Columbia, South Carolina. They call the Confederate flag a "symbol of slavery and racism."

This also continues along with an economic boycott of the state's tourism spots. In 2000, a compromise was reached whereby the flag was removed from the top of the capitol and nowflies on the grounds by a Confederate soldier monument.

It looks to me like the NAACP would be better if they were to put their efforts into the struggling inner city neighborhoods as opposed to this.
