The Revolution Won't Be Televised: BREE NEWSOME Gives First Interview to GMAs LINSEY DAVIS This Morning

“I felt very strongly we needed that moment. We needed that moment to say ‘enough is enough.’ We want an end to the hate.”

Although she’s given a statement or two since climbing the flagpole at the statehouse in South Carolina in a successful effort to take down the Confederate flag, Bree Newsome gave her first interview since the June 27, 2015 day she took matters into her own hands—literally.

Speaking with ABC’s Good Morning America’s Linsey Davis, Bree explains.
