In the spirit of 1960s civil rights marches, this walk gave a more accurate picture of contemporary South Carolina--diverse, inclusive and progressive. A remarkably broad group of churches, labor unions, Republicans, Democrats, the state Chamber of Commerce, and even Bob Jones University called for the removal of the flag.
