Abstract
This article will analyze the social justice activism of Bree Newsome through a womanist rhetorical lens. More specifically, it will look at the symbolic action of removing the Confederate flag from the state Capitol building in Columbia, South Carolina, which initiated the rhetorical crisis of her anti-Confederate flag movement because it confronted racism, hatred, slavery, lynching, and White supremacy. The task of this womanist critique is to expand our understanding of the redemptive self-love tenet displayed through Newsome’s activism that allows an individual to fight for the social justice of others and grants the redemptive opportunity for the activist to either build or build upon the legacy of the deceased/abused person(s).
