Date: Monday, January 17, 2011, 2:17 PM: The
annual MLK observance at the state house in Columbia SC had an
interesting twist this year. The event is held on the north side steps
of the statehouse. Prominent at that location is a large bronze statue
of George Washington. This year, the NAACP constructed a "box" to
conceal the Father of His Country from view so that participants would
not be offended by his presence.(1)
