I see this symbol everywhere, yet don't know what it is.

It's like a palm tree or something with a moon to the left of it. It's black and white and I've seen stickers, hats, shirts, etc.

Any help?

nope, that's not it. Maybe it isn't a palm tree. It's ALWAYS black and white, though, and it's on a plain background.

I'm pretty sure that I would have posted the picture instead of my lame-o description if I had a picture.

Evidently, the same reason you felt inclined to post that; curiousity.

well, this apparently is true. I've never been to S. Carolina and just assumed it was a drawing of a lynching on their flag.
