The Alabama state flag, along with other banners from across the country, has been removed from the U.S. Capitol due to concerns that some include Confederate imagery.


The banners, which hang in the tunnel to the Capitol, will be replaced with images of the state quarters.


Rep. Candice Miller, R-Michigan, chairman of the Committee on House Administration, said the flags were removed prior to renovations on the tunnel between the Rayburn House Office Building and the U.S. Capitol. Once complete, a print of each state's commemorative coin will be displayed in place of the flags.


The tunnel is used by lawmakers and staffers traveling between the two buildings.


Miller said the change was prompted by concerns that some of the flags – most notably Mississippi's – contained Confederate imagery.


"Given the controversy surrounding Confederate imagery, I decided to install a new display," Miller said. "I am well aware of how many Americans negatively view the Confederate flag, and, personally, I am very sympathetic to these views.  However, I also believe that it is not the business of the federal government to dictate what flag each state flies."


The state flags will remain in other areas, she said.
