no one should ever drive by the state house and feel they don t belong. i think this is a hopeful day for south carolina. this is a day we can say with ve come together as a state. it was a woman that spoke with my friend and colleague joy reid who said she can now come to the state house. for years she wouldn t step foot on these grounds because the flag was such an insult to her and suchen insult to a lot of folks. however, i do think there is a bit of misconception out there all of a sudden confederate battle flag is going to disappear here in south carolina. i can tell you as i drove in from the airport last night there was a dive ball on the left side of the street confederate flag waving out front. there were a number of flags out here at the ceremony. pickup truck two blocks down the road just saw it ten minutes ago, the confederate battle flag isn t gone but it will no longer fly on the state house grounds for the first time francis, as you know in more than 50 years.
