Meanwhile, the fight over the Confederate flag flying at South Carolina’s State House has shifted inside after a demonstration at which more than 50,000 people called for the banner’s removal. Only the legislature can remove the flag raised over the State House in 1962 during the Civil War centennial. Many demonstrators from out of state honored a tourism boycott by the NAACP and slept on cots in church basements instead of checking into hotels. Some lawmakers have said they will discuss a compromise only after the NAACP backs off the boycott. But NAACP President Kweisi Mfume said the boycott will remain until the flag goes. While South Carolina is the only state still flying the Confederate flag from its capitol, Georgia incorporated the symbol into its state flag in 1956. The Reverend Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition now wants tourists to boycott Georgia until the emblem is removed. Activists are threatening to begin the boycott on January 30th, the day the Super Bowl will be held in Atlanta.
