but what made that flag go up is george wallace's way of saying to bobby kennedy, i'm here to fight youag in its new incarnation, 20th century incarnation, was nothing but a message of defiance and defiance directly to the government of the united states of america. >> and amy, obviously a lot happening very quickly since this tragedy. we've got governors across the deep south now saying take it down. >> indeed. and i think long overdue, frankly. as lawrence points out these flags going up in the middle of the 20th century. these claims that these have been state symbols of a couple hundred years simply isn't true. and for a lot of americans the confederate flag is by its nature divisive because the confederacy after all was to succeed from the union. it sort of sends the message that the wrong side won in that conflict. but that's for the state to decide and i think as state symbol it's inappropriate. i do understand the confederate flag also is a symbol of southern pride and you know standing up to the north at least culturally. so individuals wearing it putting it as a bumper sticker
