       South Carolina raised a confederate flag over its state house in the 1960s to show contempt for desegregation and Black Americans pursuing civil rights.Four decades later they moved it to a flagpole at a monument to men who died fighting to preserve chattel slavery.On 27 July 2015 Bree Newsome scaled that 30ft flagpole, removing that hateful flag. In just days the state decided to take it down permanently.Sunday is the 10th anniversary of Bree Newsome's essential, moral, courageous action.
