2021-10-2119 minUnderstand SCA view of the COVID surge from inside a SC hospitalThere are plenty of numbers available that show the troubling point that South Carolina has reached in the COVID-19 pandemic. On Aug. 11, the state surpassed 10,000 deaths from the virus. Case numbers are high, and data from the Medical University of South Carolina show the aggressive and more highly transmissible Delta strain now accounts for more than 92 percent of positive tests. But sometimes — perhaps especially now, months after coronavirus vaccines became available and gave people hope that a return to normalcy could be near — it can be difficult to understand the grim reality behind those figures.

There are sites and buildings that no longer exist and places that are well-known, though only for select parts of their past.

Even when they did, 131 “segregation academies” popped up around the state, the ghosts of which can still be seen today — 1 in 8 Palmetto State schools are 90% or more minority students.
It’s not just the history that’s cause for concern. South Carolina is struggling to retain teachers, and our test scores, benchmarks and education system as a whole consistently rank toward the bottom of nearly ev...
