Stacey Abrams admits to burning Georgia flag on eve of final gubernatorial debate

Stacey Abrams, the Democrat who could be the first black woman to win a governor's seat in U.S. history, admitted Monday that she burned the state flag on the steps of the Georgia Capitol in 1992.

At the time, the state flag included a Confederate symbol.

Abrams, who is black, appeared in a photo in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in June 1992 alongside other students burning the flag at the state Capitol.

Abrams' campaign said in a statement Monday that her actions were part of a “permitted, peaceful protest against the Confederate emblem in the flag,” which led to the flag being changed.
