Video: Brave Female Activist Takes Down SC Capitol’s Confederate Flag, Is Immediately Arrested
Here’s video of an amazing moment in front of the South Carolina state Capitol, as activist Bree Newsome scales the flagpole and takes down the Confederate flag — then is arrested when she climbs back down.
Unfortunately, the flag was raised again 45 minutes later, in time for a rally of neo-Confederates and white supremacists calling for the flag to stay where it is.
