At 10:00 a.m. EST, the S.C. government officially removed the rebel flag from State Capital grounds. In response to this historic move, TDI President, Breon Wells stated the following...

"I laud the courage and compassion exhibited by the South Carolina government to remove a divisive and controversial symbol from off of it's public grounds. No matter what our heritage, race, or class, today's historic move reminds us that we are a community. As a community, there are times when we must look into the positives and negatives of our past and commit to remain unified in our journey towards healing, reconciliation, and resilience. This is how we forbear one another in love." #‎LoveWins
