The Confederate Flag will be raised at the South Carolina State House in Columbia on Tuesday.
The red, white and blue banner, a controversial symbol of the slave-holding Old South under the Confederacy, will fly for one day only as part of a ceremony marking the third anniversary of its permanent removal.
Members of the South Carolina Secessionist Party, a nonprofit Charleston-based group, will raise the rebel banner on a temporary pole in front of the capital steps on Gervais Street at 10 a.m., The State newspaper reports.
The party has been permitted to annually raise the flag for a brief time near the Confederate soldiers' monument, where it had been displayed until 2015.
