(AP) -- SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Residents of a black neighborhood in South Carolina are continuing their protest over a Confederate flag flying at a home.

The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that about 70 people marched and sang civil rights-era anthems Saturday in the Brownsville neighborhood near Charleston in front of the home of Annie Chambers Caddell, who is white.

Caddell told the newspaper after the march that she won't take down the Civil War emblem that is viewed by many as a racist symbol.

A black neighbor Patterson James agreed Caddell has a legal right to fly a Confederate flag on her property, but that doesn't make it the right thing to do.

About 30 people brought more Confederate flags to Caddell's property Saturday and stood with her to show their support.
