Palmer Supports Removing Confederate Flag from Capitol Grounds

Statement

By: Gary Palmer

Date: June 24, 2015

Location: Washington, DC

Congressman Gary Palmer says the following with regards to Governor Bentley removing the Confederate Battle Flag from the Capitol Grounds:

"I support Governor Bentley's action removing the Confederate Battle Flag from the Capitol Grounds. I believe only two flags should be flying on the capitol grounds: the flag of the United States of America and the flag of Alabama.

"At this point, it appears impossible to separate the Confederate Battle Flag from the historical injustices of slavery and Jim Crow. These injustices are inconsistent with my personal beliefs."
