Leslie is rejoined by Political Strategist Brad Bannon.

They discuss the Confederate Battle Flag being taken down from the grounds of the state house in South Carolina today, and what it means in the bigger picture.

Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns.

I am joined by callers as we discuss the inspiring and emotional speech by South Carolina Republican Jenny Horne, in which she urges her colleagues to stop holding up the bill that would take down the Confederate Flag from the state house grounds.

We also discuss other efforts around the country to remove names and symbols of the Confederacy, and what the right moves are.
