COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Members of the South Carolina Secessionist Party will raise the flag on a temporary pole in front of the Statehouse Tuesday morning.
July 9 marked three years since then-governor Nikki Haley signed the flag removal bill. July 10 is actually the anniversary of when it was removed from State House grounds.
It came after the Mother Emanuel AME massacre in downtown Charleston where nine parishioners were killed at the church by a man who was seen in pictures posing with the Confederate flag.
The plan is to display the flag at the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum.
