Questions that arise from this picture What divides us? Is it just the history of race? Is it just labels we have inherited? What does this mean – for both political parties in SC? – for public policy in SC? – for role of government in the future of this state? Caveat--maybe no significance because other issues that divide the races are more important? Will we ever see that we have so much in common across the racial divide? Who benefits if we do not?
