North Carolina DMV removes Confederate battle flag license plate
Hunter Ingram, Wilmington StarNews – Six months after being questioned by the StarNews about the Confederate battle flag on a specialty license plate, the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles will no longer issue or renew the plate for drivers. The removal of the license plate, issued to members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans organization, quietly became effective at the start of the new year, according to a statement from the NCDMV.
