Fmr SC State Rep Sellers: Confederate Flag Removal Will ‘Finally Move SC Forward Into 21st Century’

Former South Carolina State Representative Bakari Sellers commented on ESPN Radio’s podcast “Capital Games” about the Confederate flag debate in South Carolina. The Confederate flag has been the subject of protests since the fatal shooting of nine people at a black church in Charleston, SC on June 17.

Sellers, whose dad was arrested, jailed and later pardoned for his part in a civil rights protest during the Orangeburg Massacre, said about removing the Confederate flag, “I think that South Carolina will finally be able to move forward into the 21st century when it does happen.”
