"A concerted effort to preserve our heritage is a vital link to our cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational, and economic legaicies-all the things that quite literally makes us who we are." Steve Berry
The removal of the southern confederate battle flag from South Carolin's state grounds today was a very important step in establishing the true heritage of the southern pride. Starting two weeks ago a white main said that he killed the nine African-American churchgoers in a Charleston church was an attempt to start race wars in South Carolina. The young man took pictures of himself holding the confederate battle flag with a rifle to show white supremacy and posted them online.
Unfortunately this young man then proceeded to go to an AME church and shot nine bible churchgoers. This began the conversation about the flags symbol of slavery and racism.
Today with the support of most Southern Carolina's the flay was lowered permanently and will be displayed in a museum to reserve the heritage of the Confederate leaders and pay a tribute to those who fought for confederacy beliefs. This heritage is vital to our cultural as the United States of America united under one flag.
