In case you missed it yesterday, Bree Newsome, an educator, activist, and our latest favorite Black woman getting things done, climbed up a flagpole in the South Carolina state capitol to bring down the Confederate flag. As she came down, she bravely said, “Yes, I am prepared to be arrested” as she was met by the cops. And people who believe in resistance everywhere yelled, “YASSSSS!” True to form, the Internet also went wild.
Here are some of the best reactions from #FreeBRee in which the Internet showed support for this brave lady.
Yes. I hope I get the call to direct the motion picture about a black superhero I admire. Her name is @BreeNewsome. pic.twitter.com/BgMeaNsbYk

@BreeNewsome is a hero. I support her. Having that flag fly over the funerals in SC was a national disgrace. #FreeBree

If you kill one American soldier, you go to jail. Kill 112,000 American soldiers: Your flag is still flying 150 years later. #FreeBree

This was done as an act of non-violent resistance and nothing else. It’s the one of the boldest things I’ve ever seen pic.twitter.com/ee331c0Ox9

Slavery was legal. Hunting runaways was legal.Jim Crow was legal.Legality is not compass of morality nor true indicator of justice #FreeBree
