“On the order of Gov. Robert Bentley (R), the Confederate battle flag which stands at the foot of the confederate memorial on the state Capitol grounds was taken down this morning,” the Birmingham News reports.
“Two workers came out of the Capitol building about 8:20 a.m. and with no fanfare quickly and quietly took the flag down. They declined to answer questions.”
