South Carolina Senate passes legislation to remove 'slavery flag'

South Carolina's Senate has voted to remove the Confederate battle flag from flying above the state capital's grounds. A bill to banish the flag in a museum easily passed a third and final reading by 36 to 3. The legislation is now headed to the state House of Representatives. The flag is viewed by many as a symbol of slavery, which has been compounded by the gunman in the Charleston church massacre being photographed with one.
