Woman climbs the flag pole at the S.C. statehouse and takes the Confederate flag down... She climbed the 30-foot pole and took it down and was arrested when she reached bottom as it is illegal to do so.
A North Carolina man has 150 Confederate flags on his property in Rocky Mount. Edward West, 71, lives in a predominately black part of town and had them up before the murders and will not take them down. At least Rocky Mount officials say it is still legal to fly them.
Confederate flag supporters rallied for it in Gastonia, North Carolina, with signs such as "Don't Erase Our History" and "United States of the Offended."
One of the next battles to be fought in the Confederate controversy will take place in Brooklyn where Borough President Eric Adams, black, demands that the General Lee Avenue and Stonewall Jackson Drive be removed from Fort Hamilton. Lee was an engineering officer there from 1841-1847. Jackson was an acting company commander there as well.
