Read, Watch or Listen
ORANGEBURG, S.C. Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette defended her plan to deliver South Carolina State University's commencement address, speaking at a virtual news conference Wednesday after students staged protests and a sit-in this week opposing her selection as the May 8 speaker; Evette said she was invited by university officials and would not back down. This week, protesters at the historically Black university organized chants and a sit-in and met with SC State President Alexander Conyers, who discussed the decision and said he heard their concerns; on April 29 Evette reiterated her record supporting HBCUs and noted endorsements from state Republican leaders while student leaders disputed her characterization of their demonstrations.
