Bree Newsome, an organizer and activist from Charlotte, North Carolina, took down South Carolina’s Confederate flag this morning by climbing up the 30-foot flagpole on statehouse grounds.
“We come against… hatred, oppression, and violence. I come against you in the name of God,” Newsome shouted as she climbed the flagpole. “This flag comes down today.”
As soon as Newsome got down from the flagpole she was arrested and charged with defacing monuments on state capitol grounds, according to the Associated Press. A crowdfunding page has already garnered more than $17,000 in donations toward her bail.
The South Carolina legislature is set to vote on taking down the Confederate flag, which requires a two-thirds majority in both houses. The flag has flown over the statehouse since 1962, when it was put up as a symbol of resistance to racial integration.
