		<description><![CDATA[MAY 27, 2011 – Maybe Mick Zais (rhymes with “face”) is a retired general who just can’t think outside of his hyperpartisan box. That’s the only way we can explain the odd pronouncement this week by the new state superintendent of education that South Carolina won’t compete to get a $10 million to $50 million [...]]]></description>

Fifty years ago, black families traveling in the South more than likely packed food to take on long car trips so they didn't have to encounter segregationists or stop to find a restaurant that would serve them.
