World News: King Day at the Dome - Columbia, SC

January 19, 2016  •  418 Comments

On Martin Luther King Day and just in front of the Confederate monument at the South Carolina State House, members of the media attempted to find space on an inadequately sized riser as they prepared to cover the appearance of three Democratic presidential candidates. It was my first experience covering King Day at the Dome, a rally first organized in 2000 to protest the flying of the Confederate battle flag on the capitol grounds. I'm not sure where organizers set up a media riser in previous years, but this year, with the absence of a flag pole surrounded by a fence, it was placed in a area previously accessible only Santa Claus, Bree Newsome and State House police.

Here are some stories in the national news using photos I made yesterday for Getty Images. in Columbia, SC.

Not much unites Democrats and Republicans. Anger at Wall Street does.

from The Washington Post

“If we go someplace and order dinner for $15, and we don’t pay, we get a criminal record,” said Sarah Pawlikowski, a tea party activist from Columbia. “Why is Wall Street treated any different?”

 

Does Bernie Sanders Actually Want to Be President?

From NBC News

But at the NBC News/YouTube debate here Sunday night, Bernie Sanders won by sounding more revolutionary than presidential. That's no surprise for Sanders, who has adopted the posture of an outsider insurgent for his entire career and made "political revolution" a slogan of his 2016 presidential campaign.
