Advocates of keeping Denmark Tech as a college say they’re fighting for ‘hope’ - Seanna Adcox, Post and Courier

Denmark Technical College represents hope for students in one of South Carolina’s poorest counties and should be given more time to turn its enrollment around, advocates of the school said at a rally Wednesday. More than 100 alumni, administrators and local officials gathered at the Statehouse to oppose a House proposal that would turn the historically black college back into a trade school. The crowd included three legislators. A 1947 state law created Denmark Tech as a trade school for black South Carolinians. It became part of the statewide technical college system in 1969. https://www.postandcourier.com/politics/advocates-of-keeping-denmark-tech-as-a-college-say-they/article_e21bac70-5662-11e9-8f02-c31ab2064ca7.html
