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 a "box" to conceal the Father of His Country from view was constructed apparently so that participants would not be offended by his presence.
