A man dressed as a Confederate soldier and carrying a Confederate flag accepts a hug from an African-American woman, July 10, 2015, in Columbia, S.C. Thousands flocked to the South Carolina Statehouse to see the removal of the Confederate flag. 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. (Photo by Carmen K.
