Well Bree Newsome couldn’t wait any longer. So, she took matters into her own hands, literally. She stood up for what she believed in (even if the plight seemed miniscule to others) and took down the flag. She ended up getting arrested, but was clearly proud of her actions, as are we. Doesn’t sound much different from someone else we know #RosaParks Everyone please take note, this is history happening right in front of us. Welcome to the history books Bree, you have joined the ranks of the many Black women who have fought and sacrificed for our rights, and we stand with you sister. #FreeBree #BreeNewsome #SouthCarolina #confederate #confederateflag #TheFlagIsDown #CivilRights #civilrightsmovement #civilrightsactivist #blackwomenhistory #blackwomen #Black
