Your full name is what . Walter clyburn reed. Clyburn. Ding ding ding ding ding. We all know the clyburn name. Yes, maam. So your grand father has been on record as saying mayor petes Sexual Orientation will be a problem for some voters. He is not necessarily talking about himself, but many voters in South Carolina, black voters in particular. Yes, maam. That that would be a problem. He was referring to his generation in particular. He understands that our nation is progressing and he also understands how much that community has a positive effect on not only american society, but eventually american politics. I want to say this about you, alex. I so admire you because youre 16, and you cant even vote in this election yet. At 16, i was just hoping please, somebody ask me to the prom. What is it about politics that fascinate you . As i grew up, i realized that politics is going to affect me and everybody else. When i was witnessing the 2016 election, thats when i found out it matters who you vote for. You settled on bernie sanders. Why . He is a candidate who has fought for the civil rights movement. As far as policies like medicare for all, getting money out of politics and ending the overseas wars. Thats what i would run on if i could run. Do you think the stakes are higher this time . I think they are. The last four years, so many people have been afraid of where this country is headed. And i think, you know, Elizabeth Warren says herself this is the fight of our lives. Walter, we had talked before about how people view voters of color, that its a monolithic group. When you hear that, what do you think . That is very untrue. We all have different viewpoints. And in this election in particular, we have a lot of candidates who have a lot to offer. In the state capital, we talked with voters at a fun run. Have you narrowed it down . Ive narrowed it down to two. Who seem to agree the race for the democratic nomination in South Carolina remains wide open. We still have more time. I still have more time to change my mind. Im still researching it. So well see. Will the debates matter to you . They do. They matter a lot. Because you cant retract what you said in front of millions of watchers. How are you appealing to the African American voters. Thats a huge part of the voters especially in this community. Its like 60 black voters. Thats important. I need to know. Gayle king reporting from charleston. That city has a complex history because of its ties with the atlantic slave trade. Michelle miller has that. Charlestons history certainly complicated. Reporter for the last seven years, charleston has been the top u. S. City for travel and leisure readers, a city known for its cobblestone streets and elegant homes. It was also the capital of the slave trade. More than 40 of all africans brought here came through this port. A harsh reality that many in charleston used to gloss over. I think its crucial that we tell the entire story. Reporter now tour guides like john laverne make it the most important point to visitors. A lot of people, what they know about charleston is what theyve seen on tv. Youve got to discuss every horrific part of the entire institution of slavery. Reporter bernard powers heads up the center for the study of slavery in charleston at the college of charleston. Its very important to be frank and honest and forthright about the brutality of the system of slavery. I mean there is there is no getting around it. This was an aspect of daily life. Reporter and thats exactly what historians at charlestons nathaniel house are trying to do. Every house that was built for 1865 in charleston was built on the backs of enslaved men, women and children. Reporter Sarah Northup is the director of museums for the charleston foundation. Its so important that visitors to these sites understand that enslaved people were people. They had agency. They had skills. They had hopes and dreams and relationships and families. And while some say charleston is making progress, others believe the work is just beginning. The disparities that exist between African American and whites in this community, they are still very glaring. Reporter otha meadows, president and ceo of the Charleston Trident Urban League said those inequalities could turn voters in charleston away from the polls in 2020. How many folk in the African American community actually go out and exercise their right to vote . I think a lot of African American dont feel officials are making policy and decisions in their best interests. They are disenfranchised. Reporter the city of charleston has been working to bridge the gap. In 2018, the city council formally passed a resolution to apologize for its role in slavery by a vote of 75. It was a win some celebrated as a sign of how far charleston has come. For over, like councilman William Dudley gregory, the close margin represented how far charleston still has to go. We as a modern day council at a minimum should recognize the errors of the ways of our predecessors and attempt to make things whole while we can.
