The flag haters said to boycott the tree lighting,
but the TV news said the crowd was about the same size as usual.
I suppose the boycotters were replaced by flag supporters.
It seemed to me that the crowd included about 5 to 10% Blacks.
I saw no one protesting & no signs.

Sunday Night 26 November 2000 on the State House grounds in Columbia SC.
The State House is behind us & we are looking north, so the soldier has his back to us.
The tree was donated by Robert Bankhead of Fairfield County SC
