1st place in the News category: Dueling demonstrations clash as the Klu Klux Klan holds a protest rally on the steps of the S.C. State House building at the same time as a New Black Panther Party rally coupled with other black activist groups on July 19, 2015, Columbia, S.C. The KKK held the rally to protest against the removal of the Confederate Flag from the state house grounds which was taken down July 10, 2015. The demonstration groups nearly went head-to-head as both rallies concluded and ended up face-to-face in the streets of downtown Columbia. In this photo, young African American men push past metal barricades, which are the only thing between them and several KKK members, as they shout at the Klan members to leave or die.
