Belonging to the family of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, residing at 1528 Sumter Street. Established in 1921, the structure is uncontested. The bone of contention? The plaque, of course, the bits and pieces of history's comedy.

A church and a plaque. A simple combination, right? But this one's got a century's worth of questionable honor. The building, fixed firmly at 1528 Sumter Street, Columbia, South Carolina, has roots dating back to 1921. Yet, the attached plaque, that's another story, the punchline of the past. It's the subject of the strife. Not the building, but the plaque, pal.
