A Southern heritage group says it is going to federal court to keep the Confederate battle flag on Virginia license plates.
The Virginia division and the national leadership of the Sons of Confederate Veterans said Thursday they want to stop the state from banishing the image of the flag from plates.
In June, Gov. Terry McAuliffe called the flag "unnecessarily divisive and hurtful" in saying he wanted to phase out the plate.
His announcement came after the mass killings of nine African-Americans inside a church in Charleston.
Earlier Thursday, South Carolina governor Nikki Haley signed into law a bill which will relegate the Confederate Flag flying over the Capitol grounds to the state's relic room.
