Confederate Flag
What does the Confederate flag mean to you?
An intense debate is under way in America over the symbolism and relevance of the Confederate flag. The governor of South Carolina has called for it's removal from the state capitol's grounds. The flag, emblematic of the south during the US civil war, was embraced by the man accused of killing nine people in a black church in Charleston last week.
