CHARLESTON COUNTY RACIAL DISPARITIES REPORT 2000-2015

“This report will serve as a tool to help promote greater public awareness and understanding of the depth and breadth of the racial disparities that differentiate the white and black experience in Charleston. In large measure, these findings speak for themselves. White supremacy in the Charleston region is not simply an ideology of hate. It is about an assortment of institutionalized policies and practices and structural arrangements of power relations.”
