Columbia, South Carolina (CNN)A long struggle over a polarizing symbol in South Carolina will end at 10 a.m. Friday.

That's when the Confederate battle flag, a fixture on statehouse grounds for half a century, will be lowered, according to a tweet from Gov. Nikki Haley's deputy chief of staff.

Haley will sign the bill authorizing the flag removal at 4 p.m. Thursday.

"It is a new day in South Carolina, a day we can all be proud of, a day that truly brings us all together as we continue to heal, as one people and one state," Haley said in a statement.

The legislation calls for the flag to be taken down within 24 hours of her signing of the bill and moved to the state's Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum for display.

Early Thursday morning, the South Carolina House of Representatives voted -- 94-20 -- to take down the flag, giving final approval to a bill that passed the state Senate earlier in the week.

The vote count was more than the two-thirds needed -- but it came after a handful of lawmakers mounted a tenacious last stand, proposing amendment after amendment that led the debate to drag on more than 12 hours.
