The Confederate flag is legally protected by the 2000 South Carolina Heritage Act.

The Confederate flag has been an issue for many years in South Carolina with many seeing it as a symbol of Southern pride and many others as one of slavery and oppression.

The Emanuel AME Church on June 18, 2015 in Charleston, South Carolina.

The Emanuel African Methodist (AME) Church is the oldest AME church in the South and is often referred to as "Mother Emanuel," according to the church website.

In 1833, the historic church was investigated for its involvement with a planned slave revolt. Denmark Vesey, one of the church's founders, was hanged for organizing a slave uprising in Charleston.
