COLUMBIA-- It's been ten years since 50,000 people rallied at the Statehouse against the Confederate flag's location on the dome. That rally helped prompt officials to move the flag near a Confederate monument on the Statehouse grounds.

The flag's current location still commands national attention. Thousands marched to the Statehouse today to celebrate Doctor Martin Luther King's life and legacy. One of their main goals is to have the flag removed from the grounds all together.

WACH FOX News reporter Katie Williams hit the streets to see if South Carolinians are satisfied with the flag's current location. The people she spoke with say it's time for it to go.
