Dear Dr. Allbright,

We've also come together in acknowledging that certain symbols and events of our = past resonate differently among us.  For some, = the Confederate flag represents a history of their ancestry and heritage.  For others, the flag is a deeply painful reminder of a brutally oppressive past.

The time has come for us to set the flag among the other markers of our history so we = can set our eyes on the great promise of a united South Carolina.  God bless. 


My very best,
