This morning I woke up at 6:45am, turned on MSNBC, and anxiously waited on the removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Statehouse grounds. Since I couldn’t fly home to SC to witness it I wanted to watch it live on television from new home in Seattle. As the Honor Guard pulled the flag down I could hear the crowd chanting, "nah, nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye."
This is an important moment in history.
This is the completion of an extremely long and exhausting struggle decades in the making.
