PARIS.- This file photo taken on September 30, 2009 shows Italian writer and academic Umberto Eco in Paris, at Le Louvre museum, while presenting his choice of works for the exhibition entitled, "Mille e tre".

GREENVILLE.- Rollis Smith, lieutenant commander for the Second Brigade of the South Carolina division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans is seen on February 17, 2016 at a Confederate museum in Greenville, South Carolina. Two days before South Carolina's Republican primary, and eight months after the incomprehensible murder of black churchgoers in Charleston, racial tensions are simmering despite presidential candidates' proclamations that the state has emerged gracefully from tragedy. The first presidential nomination vote in the US South was supposed to showcase the region's dynamism, religious conviction, resilience in the face of recent horror and the resulting effort to neutralize a symbol long seen by many as fueling hate: the Confederate battle flag.

SEOUL.- This photo taken on February 13, 2016 shows a Coca-Cola can which was partially consumed by the late reverend Sun Myung Moon exhibited at the Cheon Jung Gung Museum of the Unification Church, at their global headquarters in Gapyeong, northeast of Seoul. The teachings of the Unification Church are based on the Bible but with new interpretations, and the church's late founder Sun Myung Moon saw his role as completing the unfulfilled mission of Jesus to restore humanity to a state of "sinless" purity. Revered by followers as a messiah but denounced by critics as a charlatan, Moon died of complications from pneumonia in 2012 at the age of 92, leaving behind a church noted for its mass weddings and diverse business interests.

OXFORD.- People stop on the pavement to look at a statue of British businessman Cecil Rhodes on the facade of Oriel College in Oxford. A statue at Oxford University of 19th century British imperialist Cecil Rhodes will not be taken down despite protests, the college at the centre of the dispute said Friday, to the fury of campaigners. "Following careful consideration, the college's governing body has decided that the statue should remain in place," Oriel College said in a statement. ADRIAN DENNIS / AFP
