By climbing a flagpole outside the South Carolina's statehouse012 Archives Bree Newsome practically wrote the modern book on removing Confederate flags from public spaces. Apparently, not everyone read that book, so now we have a sequel.
Black Lives Matter activist Muhiyidin d'Baha was arrested on Wednesday in South Carolina after epically leaping over a police tape barricade to snatch a Confederate flag out of a protestor's hand.
Since it took place directly behind a CBS newscast, the stunning moment aired on live TV -- the cameraman followed d'Baha as he quickly ran across the shot.

The flag was held by a member of the South Carolina Secessionist Party, protesting outside of the College of Charleston's Sottile Theatre, at an event featuring Newsome, an African-American activist, filmmaker and one of the driving forces behind the South Carolina state government's decision to permanently remove the Confederate flag from Capitol grounds.
D'Baha was counter-protesting the demonstration when he dove over the police tape, and is now being lauded on Twitter for his remarkable act of resistance.

D'Baha, our new personal hero, was arrested after his leap for justice, and reportedly charged with disorderly conduct by the Charleston Police Department.
Advocacy group Showing Up For Racial Justice Charleston has set up a crowdfunding pageto raise money for d'Baha's bail, already garnering over $12,000 of their $12,500 goal.
D'Baha, you are an inspiration to us all. We leave you with this perfect tweet.
