Tom Dent continues his interview with Dr. Rickey Hill in Orangeburg, South Carolina. They continue to discuss politics in Orangeburg. Hill says the city has a history of few African Americans being elected to public office. There is now a Black presence on City Council, including Bernard Haire, Liz Keitt, and Reverend Allen Parrot. Hill talks about Emory Campbell and the Penn Center. He describes the lack of activism in the state, including on the part of the Legislative Black Caucus. Voter registration has been low, though Black voter turnout has been high. He discusses how the elected leadership addresses African Americans in the state. The most recent effort to pull the Black community together on a statewide level was in 1985 for a Black leadership development conference organized by J.I. Washington and James Clyburn. Clyburn was a founder of the United Citizens Party, along with John Harper and Isaac Williams, who were both working for the NAACP at the time. Despite a predominance of republican officials in the state, the Black percentage of the Republican Party remains insignificant. He describes the racial makeup of the General Assembly of the State Legislature. Hill talks about I. DeQuincy Newman. He gives his assessment of South Carolina State College. The students are very conservative and uninquisitive.
