The confederate flag went up in 1961 because 9 young black men tried to get served at a lunch counter. It's ironic that it came down today partly because 9 black people were murdered while attending bible study by a confederate flag fan, for no other reason than the color of their skin.

This is a start and God bless South Carolina for taking this action, but now confederate flags must be taken off of federal land everywhere in the country.
