A predominately black neighborhood in Summerville, South Carolina, was torn apart when a white resident, Annie Caddell, put up a Confederate flag. It stirred a public fight, including the erection of a wall around her property to block views of the flag. But after Caddell suffered a heart attack, she also had a change of heart, and took the flag down, as Steve Hartman reported a few months ago. Hartman has now returned to Summerville to follow up on new developments in the story about restoring a community.
