Washington and Lee University administrators have agreed to remove Confederate flags from the campus chapel after protests from a group of Black law-school students.
The flags, various Confederate battle flags captured by and surrendered to the Union Army during the Civil War, have been on display in the main chamber of Lee Chapel since 1930. The ones being removed are replicas, placed on display in 1995 after the American Civil War Museum, which owns the flags, removed the originals due to deterioration from the way they were being displayed.
