Images from the South Carolina State House following the removal of the Confederate flag, July 10, 2015, in Columbia, South Carolina. The flag flew above the capitol dome from 1961-2000, then was moved to the grounds. The flag, which is now permanently removed, will be stored at the Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum. The House voted for its removal after the shooting of nine African-Americans at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, June 17, 2015. Alleged shooter Dylann Roof, who published a manifesto on his website supporting white supremacist beliefs, was seen in numerous photographs holding the Confederate flag.
