“Who here still supports segregation? That is why this flag went up in the first place”
The flag went up to mark the Centennial of the Civil War, but feel free to keep repeating the Left’s revisionist history.
“The first time it flew
Daniel Hollis, a member of the commission responsible for planning South Carolina’s Confederate War Centennial, recalled the exact day the flag was first hoisted during an interview published in 1999.
Hollis said the flag itself went up on April 11, 1961, for the opening of the Civil War centennial “at the request of Aiken Rep. John A. May.”
“May told us he was going to introduce a resolution to fly the flag for a year from the capitol. I was against the flag going up,” Hollis said, “but I kept quiet and went along.”
The resolution was approved in 1962, but never included a date for the flag’s removal.
“It just stayed up,” Hollis said. “Nobody raised a question.”
Hollis died in 2008.”
