South Carolina to Establish Official King Holiday
Gov. Hodges plans to sign a bill making Martin Luther King Jr Day an official state holiday at 11 am Monday at Rosewood Elementary in Columbia. The ceremony will include planting a sycamore seedling from Brown Chapel AME Church in Selma, a site tied to King’s past preaching and civil rights history. The bill faced a bitter, fractious path in the Republican House before final passage, with amendments preserving Confederate monuments and flag debates.
