The NAACP has voted to end its 15-year boycott of South Carolina after the state removed the Confederate battle flag from the Capitol grounds. In a statement, the NAACP said the flag’s removal does not end discrimination, but “does symbolize an end to the reverance of and adherence to values that support racially-based chattel slavery.” The flag’s removal came just over three weeks after nine African-American churchgoers were massacred in Charleston, South Carolina, by a white suspect who embraced the Confederate flag.
