Apr. 5—CHARLESTON, S.C. — As a young Black kid growing up in a single-parent household in North Charleston, Tim Scott often wondered how he would ever get out of poverty. At the time, he only saw only two paths: Becoming a professional athlete or becoming a professional entertainer.
Now a U.S. Senator representing South Carolina, Scott on Monday announced a new internship program that he hopes will offer high school students in his home state another path.
