The National Black Republican Association
(NBRA) has erected the group's first "Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican" billboard off an exit of Interstate 26 in South Carolina, which is sure to spark controversy.

"The billboard is located at a busy intersection [between]
Columbia and Charleston," says NBRA Chairman Frances Rice. "It is attracting a lot of attention. We welcome the opportunity to explain why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican."

Ms. Rice, who like King is from Atlanta, has insisted for
years that the late civil rights leader was "absolutely" a Republican, adding that most black Americans were in those days, when Democrats trained fire hoses and sicced dogs on them.
