Wal-Mart, Sears to Stop Selling Confederate Flag Merchandise

Wal-Mart and Sears, two of the country's largest retailers, will remove all Confederate flag merchandise from their stores. The announcements are the latest indication that the flag, a symbol of the slave-holding South, has become toxic in the aftermath of a shooting last week at a historic African-American church in Charleston, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley announced in a Monday afternoon news conference that she supports removing the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds.
