Parting Shot — 7.7.15

Casey Kelley, of Gilbert, rests his head on his son’s head as they share a grip on a Confederate flag outside the South Carolina Statehouse in Columbia, S.C., earlier today. With roots deep in the Confederacy, Liam Kelley, 3, is the seventh generation of the Kelley family. “When my kid gets older I want to be able to tell him I stood for the right thing”, his dad, Casey Kelley said. “This is what’s right.” The push to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of the South Carolina Statehouse cleared another hurdle as the view of a long-held symbol shifts across the South in the wake of last month’s shooting.
