  1. Finally!

    I remember that The Citadel wanted to remove the flag there, too, but needed permission from the legislature because of the law that was passed. Any progress there?

  2. Congratulations, South Carolina. Welcome to the 20th century.

  3. 150 years after the end of the War of Southern Treason.

  4. Ain’t gonna lie, got a tear in my eye.

  5. It smells weird to me that this is something to be celebrated with fanfare. Seems like it should be done with as little fanfare as possible.
