The Confederate Flag outside of the Capitol Building in South Carolina was taken down in a ceremony on Friday morning. The flag had been there for 54 years but was removed after the murder of nine black parishioners on June 17.

Cornell William Brooks, the National NAACP President and CEO said on July 9 " The confederate battle flag as a symbolic stain of racism has been dismissed from the state Capitol grounds and may now be deposited to a museum."
