Republican Rep. Jenny Anderson Horne brought the South Carolina House to its feet last night with a chill-inducing speech against the flying of the Confederate flag. It was nearly eight hours into a contentious debate over whether to remove the symbol from South Carolina's capitol when Horne - a descendant of Confederate leader Jefferson Davis herself - took the floor.

Watch her emotional address now.
