South Carolina’s Supreme Court will soon have no Black justices

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — For the first time in nearly two decades, South Carolina’s Supreme Court will be entirely white. Diversity on the bench is a big topic in a state where African Americans and Hispanics make up a third of the population.
