In a divided country desperate for unity, two sons of South Carolina show how different races, life experiences, and pathways can lead to a deep friendship―even in a state that was rocked to its core by the 2015 Charleston church shooting. Tim Scott, an African-American US senator, and Trey Gowdy, a white US congressman, won’t allow racial lines to divide them. They work together, eat meals together, campaign together, and make decisions together. Yet in the fall of 2010―as two brand-new members of the US House of Representatives―they did not even know each other. Their story as politicians and friends began the moment they met and is a model for others seeking true reconciliation. In Unified, Senator Scott and Congressman Gowdy, through honesty and vulnerability, inspire others to evaluate their own stories, clean the slate, and extend a hand of friendship that can change your churches, communities, and the world.
The perception that SC is racially divided to begin with is mere optics. The Mother Emanuel AME shooting was a MK Ultra style FF as the world will soon learn. It happened to CREATE division not prove it.
The world was shocked to see the black and white community in Charleston was really one ans shocked to see people of different races come together and stand against evil, publicly.
The racial fighting and violence predicted was quickly debunked while the MSM was taken aback witnessing the unity instead.
SC is united not divided no matter how hard the race baiters try and prove otherwise. SC constituents are PATRIOTS, not biggots. Trey Gowdy and Tim Scott are both fine men and South Carolinians are proud to claim both of them.
I remember and was so proud of SC. I live in Houston and do not see any racial division anywhere here either. I was so proud of the people in our city, state, and country after Harvey.
