South Carolina House approved a bill removing the Confederate flag from the Capitol grounds Adidas Ultra Boost Nere Scontate , a stunning reversal in a state that was the first to leave the Union in 1860 and raised the flag again at its Statehouse more than 50 years ago to protest the civil rights movement.


The move early Thursday came after more than 13 hours of passionate and contentious debate, and just weeks after the fatal shootings of nine black church members, including a state senator, at a Bible study in Charleston.


"South Carolina can remove the stain from our lives," said 64-year-old Rep. Joe Neal, a black Democrat first elected in 1992. "I never thought in my lifetime I would see this."


The House easily approved the Senate bill by a two-thirds margin (94-20) Adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged Scontate , and the bill now goes to Republican Gov. Nikki Haley's desk. She supports the measure, which calls for the banner to come down within 24 hours of her signature.


"It is a new day in South Carolina, a day we can all be proud of, a day that truly brings us all together as we continue to heal, as one people and one state," Haley said in a statement.


Her office said she will sign the bill quickly Adidas Ultra Boost 2.0 Scontate , but didn't give a specific timeframe.


Haley herself reversed her position on the flag, saying the pain, grief and grace of the families of the victims in the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church caused her to realize that while some conservative whites saw the Confederate flag as a symbol of pride in their Southern ancestors, most of the blacks who make up a third of the state's population see it as a dark reminder of a racist past.


The man charged in the shooting, Dylann Roof, brought that view home Adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 Scontate , telling survivors of the attack that he killed blacks because they were raping white women and taking over the country, according to witnesses. Roof also reportedly took photographs of himself holding the Confederate flag.


Earlier Wednesday, a group of Republicans had mounted opposition to immediately removing the flag, but at each turn, they were beaten back by a slightly larger, bipartisan group of legislators who believed there must be no delay.


As House members deliberated well into the night Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Donne Scontate , there were tears of anger and shared memories of Civil War ancestors. Black Democrats, frustrated at being asked to show grace to Civil War soldiers as the debate wore on, warned the state was embarrassing itself.


Changing the Senate bill could have meant it weeks or even months to remove the flag, perhaps blunting momentum that has grown since the church massacre.


Republican Rep. Jenny Horne reminded her colleagues she was a descendent of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and scolded fellow members of her party for stalling the debate with dozens of amendments.


She cried as she remembered the funeral of her slain colleague state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, the pastor of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Uomo Scontate , who was gunned down as his wife and daughter locked themselves in an office.


"For the widow of Sen. Pinckney and his two young daughters, that would be adding insult to injury and I will not be a part of it!" she screamed into a microphone.


She said later during a break she didn't intend to speak but got frustrated with fellow Republicans
