For one day in January, a third flag will fly alongside the American and South Carolina flags atop the State House in Columbia. The honor will recognize South Carolina State University’s national football championship and mark a historic first for an HBCU in the state. Gov. Henry McMaster approved a request to raise a flag bearing the Bulldogs’ logo above the Capitol dome, state officials said. As a result, South Carolina State will become the first HBCU to receive that recognition at the State House. Officials will raise the flag on Jan. 19, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Afterward, they will present it to the football team
