In this June 1992 photo, from left, Ina Solomon, Jeffery Harris, Stacey Abrams and Lawrence Jeffries burn a Georgia state flag during a demonstration at the state Capitol in Atlanta. Jeffries, at the time, described the act as burning Georgia's "racist past". The campaign of Democratic candidate for Georgia governor Stacey Abrams is defending her involvement in burning the state flag more than 25 years ago. At the time it contained a prominent Confederate symbol. (W.A. Bridges Jr./Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP)
